    The taco selection is awesome here, and they have plenty of other food options. The tableside-made guacamole is really good, they put pomegranate on top, so you can have it sweet if you like, or push off to the side. Service was slow at first, but the server was excellent, and everything was hot and right the first time. Definitely be back.

    The food quality has dropped since the last time I visited. The steak fajitas were so fatty, overcooked and chewy.

    It took 25 minutes to be seen by a server, we ordered our food immediately because we knew we’d never see her again. Our food came out and as we were finishing our food, our drinks finally arrived. No management even looked in our direction and no one offered any assistance to help our server out. Horrible experience and even the food came out cold. Go to a different location.

    We enjoyed the restaurant’s special Restaurant Week menu, the ambience of the patio, and the music of the very talented band. The margarita flight was very good, too.

    The tacos were super soggy and tasted awful. The service was slow. The server didn't really care when we said the food was not good. She said, "Well, that guy over there just told me his was great." Not recommended.
