Decent experience. This food took a little long to arrive and the calamari was overcooked. Waitress wasn’t super friendly but she was terrible either.

The wait time was super long even after making a reservation. The server was not attentive to my table for personal reasons i believe. I sat with a group black men. So do with that what you please. Food was just ok.

Google maps sent us to the side opposite the entrance, but that did not reflect on the quality of the food and service! The server went out of her way to insure that one of us that required gluten free had a gluten free margarita, as well as his main course.

Consistently great Mexican cuisine — guacamole made tableside is a plus, too. Service is consistently good, and this visit was no exception.
