    I had made a reservation for 12:30. I arrived at 12:20 and I was seated at 12:55. While I was standing there waiting for my table, a group walked up to the host said they had no reservation & the host let them know it would be a 45 minute wait. About 5 minutes later a server comes out and discreetly waves them over and they were seated. Obviously they knew the server. Its unfair for the people with reservations, they were already backed up on seating people. They had people waiting for 30+ min. for walk ins and the server just let people cut in line. It’s unfair to them as well. Other than this my server Esther was great, the food came out pretty quickly and it was good as usual.

    This location does not have the cocktails shown on the website. Also says seating is first available regardless of indoor/outdoor that you reserve.

    We had Sunday morning reservations for 8:30 and were seated immediately. The host was very friendly. The tables inside are a bit tight. We ordered chilaquiles with chorizo and the enfrijoladas and both were excellent. The server was indifferent and the cafe de la olla that we ordered and were charged for was regular coffee.
