   Very friendly when I checked in. Seated quickly at a booth which I requested. Then it went south. Waited over 10 minutes for someone to wait on us. Finally I asked the hostess if she told anyone that she seated us. Then a waiter came and asked if we had been helped. I said no so he took our order. Then the hostess grabbed the waiter and came over to apologize. Then a waitress working our section asked if we had been helped. The waiter was very attentive at first then kinda disappeared here and there. They ran out of iced tea. On a Saturday night dinner service??? My partner doesn’t drink soda so he asked for water. The water wasn’t good so he just stopped eating and packed up his food to go since he’s have nothing to drink with it. It may sound picky but he only drinks unsweetened ice tea at restaurants. And we know tap water can be gross. How do you run out though? Just make more. Tacos were smaller than previous visits. Amount of queso with the chips was skimpy. Chips had barely any lime seasoning. We ordered the dessert special but they were out of it. That should have been told at the beginning of service or when he asked us what we wanted. Previous visits have been great. Last night was very disappointing. Probably will be a while before I return.

   I would give 5 stars but music too loud and my margarita seemed on weak side. Tacos were large and delicious. Our friends like their enchiladas and burrito. Service was great and we weren’t rushed. Wish there was one in south jersey

   Our waiter Devin was absolutely amazing!! We were a family of 13 guests and he took outstanding care of us. Everyone was happy. Food was delicious. Drinks were tasty. I recommend the margarita flight for $20. Everything came out correct, hot & fresh. We will definitely be back. Thank you Devin!!!

   I made a reservation for 2. We got there everything went well till our waiter stared to take her time with things and often would come back to apologize for the wait. Usually I am not one to complain about waiting. Unfortunately they sat a couple next to us 5-10 after we sat at our table and we where able to see how there waiter got their drinks on time, food on time, desert on time and they got to leave before us meanwhile … we where still waiting. It was definitely not the place I loved the vibe but our waiter was not it.
