   Honestly this was our first and last time going. We went to celebrate my sons birthday. The service was horrible, the table was not cleaned off between appetizers and main dishes being served. We had to ask multiple times for a plate to be removed. One person said okay then walked away the other said let me get your waiter and never did. The food was not up to par, I ordered camarones blanco and asked for no mushrooms, my plate was very last to come out after everyone was served I waited for 15 min and the waiter said oh they remade it because I had asked for no mushrooms. That would all be great however there was still mushrooms in my plate so I know they were just picked out and they obviously missed some and that’s ok but be honest. The molcajete my daughter ordered was almost all onion and no carne asada like she ordered, and the fajitas were unseasoned. We did enjoy our appetizers so not all was bad but I was really set off by the 18% forced gratuity that was added for having a party of 8 (5 of them being children under 12). I have never had a problem tipping but tipping is because we enjoyed the service and were attended to. We also ordered 2 fried ice creams that never made it to the table. The guy never even put the order in even though he asked us if we wanted the chocolate toppings. So overall this was a horrible experience and I won’t be taking any family members there.

   The staff said they were busy tonight so that was their apology for us being seated 35min before even a drink order… 20min for drinks to arrive… but saying your busy… like it’s a popular place on a Saturday eve… that’s a management issue and staffing … comp a drink or two and smooth it down…

   Booked reservation to celebrate a birthday. Told our server that we had birthday girl to celebrate. Nothing. Crickets. Our birthday girl had to watch others around us being celebrated while she was forgotten. Sad.

   Our server was great. The music is way too loud at the restaurant. Can't have a conversation with anyone without yelling across the table. Our server was very good but the girl that brought our food out to us was extremely rude to myself and my wife. We were there with a party of 8 for my wife's birthday. Her attitude was unacceptable. I wish I got her name but she talked to us as if we were idiots and we were very upset about this and left early due to it.

   Everything was fantastic! My fiancé and I went the day after Valentine’s Day, so it was pretty busy, but we still had wonderful service and the food exceeded our expectations. It is definitely our new go-to spot for date night! The table side guacamole is a must!

   The food was pretty good; however, I was really disappointed some coworkers recommended this place because of the cool way it prepares your guacamole table side. Nope they don’t do that. Also I looked at the menu online and knew exactly what I wanted to order but when I got there no such luck. Apparently they’ve done a total over haul of their menu so be careful when looking online at menus they may not be up to date. Oh, my husband had a margarita and it was in a manhattan class, small not very special looking, he didn’t complain about the taste. Finally it’s super noisy, cramped, you have to maneuver around servers to get anywhere and they don’t get out of the way. They served our food with no utensils and husband had to flag them down. But I really liked my server she was super polite and nice. I would go here again for tastie food and friendly service- about 20 bucks or so for an entree. If my expectations weren’t so high, I’d have given it 4.

    Quick friendly service. Food quality is excellent. Wide variety of dishes and drinks. We eat there every 5 or 6 weeks, and have for some time. We've not once been disappointed and That says a lot.
