Service was horrific. Guy waited on us didn't come to check on us we didn't have drinks for 35 minutes. We questioned the waiter he told us he do not speak English in English. He was rude rushing us with everything. Then said I'm not waiting on you all anymore and left. The manager had to wait on us. My sister never got her food until we finished eating. Then they gave my other sister shrimp when she is allergic to shelled fish. It was my birthday they never came to me to sing happy birthday but went to everyone else to do so. The food was good but the wait staff need more customer service training. The manager did give me a gift card for the horrible service.

Fourteen of us met here to have our annual Christmas Cookie Exchange. The staff were all very pleasant and accomodating. Our food arrived quickly and was delicious. The decor is all pink and Mexican Silver Screen Stars are pictured on the walls. It is a fun atmosphere.

Food came out super quick. There is no doubt we will be coming back again. Way better than most of the surrounding areas Mexican restaurants. A must try!!
