Chips were soggy, drinks were weak with melted ice, and the burrito I got tasted as appealing as it looked :( service was “eh, fair”.

Food was definitely better last time. The kitchen mixed up my wife’s fish tacos with chicken. When we pointed it out, the server said it was just blackened fish. Nope it was chicken. Just admit the mistake and don’t make the guest feel dumb. My wife knows the difference between chicken and fish. They fixed it but I was done way before my wife while we waited. Elote was great and no other issues. We will probably be back.

Hands down, the best Tex-Mex around. We eat here frequently, and the food is always excellent. My husband is from Texas, and this is his favorite place to go to get flavors like what he grew up with. The frozen sangria, margaritas, shrimp quesadilla, seven layer burrito, fire wontons, roasted red pepper and garlic guacamole, and their variety of salsas are some of our favorite dishes.

Waiting a while past our reservation time. They seemed to have forgotten us. The music was insanely loud and the food was fairly tasteless. Generally underwhelming.

well, as we entered I told 3 people including our waiter we were celebrating two birthdays. I brought one dessert for one of the Birthdays and we would order 2 or 3 others with coffee at end of meal. That please sing happy birthday when they bring the desserts ( all of the desserts. The sent the wrong ordered desserts to our table first, then the brought in dessert and NO One singing happy birthday. The waiter was all sorts of confused, when he came back to our table. The coffee was old, I told waiter and they still put it in check, of course I did not drink it. It was an awful experience. Food was find.

Service was ok. Had to ask for water which when eating spicy food is critical. They probably didn’t think we needed water because the food is fairly bland. Needs more seasoning. Would not return.

The caramelized pineapple bacon guacamole is out of this world. We went back a week later because we couldn’t get enough.
