    Because it was a busy day the kitchen was behind it tools is about 45 mins to get our food. Plus the server was super busy also he didn’t pay much attention to our table. Overall the food was good though we need to go back on a day that’s not busy

    Food was excellent, drinks were great. Music was FAR FAR too loud. To have a conversation we had to shout at one another. Everyone likes music and a lively atmosphere, but this felt like you were trying to have dinner in a night club. Just turn it down already.

    It was date night for my husband and I. We walked and was greeted immediately. We had reservations and we were seated pretty quickly. Our server came and we placed orders for our drinks. We looked at the menu. It was also happy hour. My husband ordered chicken mole enchiladas. I ordered from the happy hour menu of three tacos and a queso dish. Everything came out pretty quickly. Our meal was absolutely delicious. Our server came out frequently to check in with us. We will be back with our family.

    Music way too loud. Hostess took us to table. Sat there for a couple minutes then told we had to move because our table was part of the people next to us and they had a large group. So why sit us there in the first place?? Waitress introduced herself then never came back. I had to stop someone to ask her to come back and that guy ended up helping us.
