    Usually being seated and getting served aren't a problem especially with reservations but today because I asked to be seated outside we forced to wait for 20 minutes which is totally unacceptable when others are being seated outside ahead of us. Then asked for drinks and water and another 15 minutes passed. I think the problem was management, poor direction and follow through

    Had a reservation but they made us wait 30 minutes to seat our party at 2 l. They seated us around nothing but families with kids screaming The omelette line took 40 minutes to get an omelette. All the food was cold se to the waiting. Server was very nice person but doesn’t know what he’s doing.. other than the chocolate fountain, the food was pretty much forgettable.

    Maria is a great server. She made our experience so much better. She was friendly, quick to help and made sure we never had an empty drink. Food was delicious. We enjoyed the mariachi’s. We will definitely be back.

    Our reservation was at 6:45 but did not get seated until 7:30…they said that they had to seat others who checked in before us. I said wait a min…I had a res. They said they file in walk ins between res’s. Finally got sat, server was good, margarita tasted like 3 day old watered down mixture. Food was ok.

    Our server was nice. Wait was long even with a reservation. We were put at a small table right in the walk way which was very uncomfortable. I did not choose that seating. The food was nothing like I remember from years ago. This restaurant was famous for the fried corn stuff on the side. Now it’s like undercooked cornbread. Not impressed and will not be returning to this restaurant again

    A little slow service on Valentine’s Day, to be expected. Server was awesome. But seriously a 3.9% additional surcharge fee because they can’t figure how to raise food prices is very naco, low rent. No other restaurants do that. Won’t be going back.

    Horrible service at 5pm was not even busy, servet was very inexperienced and unprofessional asking her coworkers to do everything for her. Our soup came out AFTER our food, guacamole was never made and still tried to charge me. Horrible experience will never return!
