We really enjoyed this place. Tacos were tasty and fresh, and drinks made well. Mushroom blend was an exciting vegetarian option. Tuna tacos could use less sauce however. Service was polite and fast. Overall, a great place to enjoy Mexican food.

Pros: Food quality and taste, atmosphere Cons: Expensive menu, very nice but somewhat inexperienced waiter (check error plus needed to hunt him down more than once). Three very rocky tables, had to move to a larger one which was then fine (how could they not know, all were very rocky not just a little bit). Had shrimp fajitas which were good, but for $31 were much more expensive than other restaurants that serve similar plus give you much more. These fajitas were only the shrimp, onions, green peppers, tortillas, salsa that was very garlicky, and sour cream. That’s it, no guacamole, no beans, no lettuce or tomato, etc. that most other restaurants provide for under $30. I didn’t get any tortilla chips and salsa but saw that another table did, not sure if they ordered them or if my waiter just forgot to offer them to me. The other table had a different waiter who seemed much more on top of things. I would be willing to try again if prices there were lower, but not at these prices.

Under staffed, and over all poor food. We had table of 14 people on a slow night. I think they had 3 people total working the bar & entire restaurant. Multiple steaks were over cooked, and no one really was raving about any of the other dishes. This was a mistake going here, this was a big bill and we expected more. Our waitress was very good but she was working by herself, this is no reflection on her.

This was our first time. Great experience. Great food. A huge party came in 1/2 through our experience and really stretched our server. She did a great job but was less attentative as a result. I will definitely be goin back. The vibe was great.

I loved the services and the food was amazing. But for the price I expected a more food then what I received also the drinks were very blan. I had the casamigos and it felt like water and lime. Over all beautiful place flavor of the food was good and out server was amazing even being alone on the floor and serving everyone. She was new and very polite!
