    We had a wonderful evening! Everyone raved about how flavorful the food was - and we had a few picky eaters in the group too! The drinks were awesome and went down fast. The service was awesome!! Got the orders perfect!! The waiters were patient with us as we sorted thru the menu. Best part! Torturing our friend for her birthday! She got the sombrero special!! Thank you!!

    When I go to a Mexican restaurant I expect to get an authentic Mexican dinner & not some Americanized version of Mexican rice and beans. Not what I was expecting and definitely won’t be returning.

    Sadly not nearly as good as it used to be and we definitely will not be going back. Service was mediocre at best… For example, a cup of black coffee inexplicably took 45 minutes to come to the table. Guac was good, but an awful value at $30 for a large size! Brisket enchiladas were COLD. Fun vibe and good for large groups who are there for fun and don't really care much about the food.
