Taste, Presentation, Value, Portion size,, and speediness of preparation was excellent. The Hostess and Waitress were very inviting and provided excellent service. The atmosphere and ambiance is very fun. The mixed Drinks in their special theme glasses are very fun. Truly a unique dinning experience provided at a fair price. My wife and I had 1 appetizer, 3 entrees and a 1 specialty margarita for $97.00. I highly recommend giving it a try and you will not be disappointed.

This is the best Mexican food around. Unfortunately, it is far too noisy. You can barely hear any conversation at your table. Heaven forbid you are there for a birthday...All the lights go up and the music is amplified even louder.

The atmosphere was beautiful and the server was pleasant and attentive, but we went for brunch on a Saturday at noon based off of the brunch menu that they have on their website only to be told they don’t have a brunch menu?! The waiter tried to accommodate us by giving us an Easter brunch menu dated from April, but none of the things from the website were available for brunch! So, if you plan to go for brunch on a Saturday or Sunday, I would call ahead to check the menu. We were disappointed because the pancakes and French toast options from the website sounded so good! I would probably give it another try but for dinner.
