    Menu has evolved over the years, so I tried the surf and turf enchiladas. The guacamole was excellent as were the margaritas. Place has a nice vibe, wish the waterfall wall was operating.

    We’ll never go back. The server was sweet but disappeared throughout our meal. We were seated for 20 minutes before she took our order and had to flag someone down for our check way after we were done. The restaurant was not that busy. The food was just terrible; poorly prepared (wet, soggy tortillas and inedible meat).

    Great vibe and good food. Guacamole was some of the best I’ve had and the duck carnitas was done very well.

    Everything we tried was great, especially the freshly made guac, which is made table side. Cocktails (& mocktail) were innovative and tasty.

    Had a great experience - attentive server and great food; the fresh guacamole was excellent and the chicken/steak fajitas were perfection. Didn't like the well vodka, so would change that, but otherwise wonderful experience!
