    3 quick bits of feedback: 1 - way too noisy. Could not hear my dinner companion at the table. This is the 4th time there where things were too loud. You need to work on the acoustics in the restaurant. 2 - more vegetarian items please. The refried beans should not contain lard! 3 - honor reservation times.....I got there a few minutes early, I should have had to wait 20 minutes for my table.

    Nice decor and good service, but it super loud, with pounding music constantly thumping away causing the people to talk even louder. I could barely hear my wife across the table. The food was just okay at best and should have been better for the price.

    Hostesses are not friendly. Had a reservation and still waited 15 minutes for our table. Our food was most likely sitting around the kitchen before it was delivered. It lacked warmth.

    Incredibly rude hostesses who look entirely bored to be there and genuinely are disinterested in providing any sort of welcome feeling to customers rolling their eyes and making faces The food was over seasoned an incredibly overpriced. My pork with salsa Verde came on a large plate with three chunks of meat, a basket of store-bought tortillas beans that tasted like wallpaper paste and an ice cream scoop of incredibly overcooked rice.

    Beautiful restaurant. Great energy. Food was not good and extremely overpriced. Great place of a drink at the bar. Otherwise, stay away.
