Really fun restaurant! Staff were very kind, patient, and attentive. The guacamole was good! I ordered the steak tacos and those were not good. The steak was really really dry. My friend got the side order of Brussels sprouts and those were divine!! I would go back - I just wouldn’t order the steak tacos. Overall, it’s a very nice restaurant!

Love the vibe, so fun! It smells so spicy and welcoming. Great apps and my meal was delicious. My only complaint was I was charged for 3 margaritas but only ordered and drank 2. Wish I would have noticed the error before I paid and left. I am sure it was an easy mistake as my coworker had 3 with her meal and the checks were split.

Very Very delicious Mexican Food, maybe even some of the best I’ve ever had. Loved the decor of the restaurant and our servers were very professional and quick. Only complaint was the music was a bit too loud.

Food and service were great! However, we had a reservation for standard seating but were seated in the covered patio. This was fine, but it felt like they put all the young people out there and there was big group that was obnoxiously loud.

Food was bland. Expensive for the size of the plates. The margaritas were very watered down. Spent $160 total & still had to go grab food & drinks elsewhere after. Don’t recommend this place it’s not worth the price

Our first time trying this place out. We made a reservation for valentines night. The server had too big of a section to manage, well, even with a back server. The kitchen was ill prepared as they ran out of the Filet on the Mar Y Tierra which is ironically on their man menu and was a feature in the Valentine’s menu. They substituted it with the skirt steak which had great flavor, but there was no discount given for a lesser cut of steak. Then their dessert feature a Strawberry Tres Leche cake was sold out. Although the food was good, it wasn’t a great first time experience. And yes, I know it was a major night but for a chain restaurant to be that ill prepared is sad.
