We had a great experience overall. While my wife’s food was cold in the middle, the staff handled the situation promptly and professionally, which we appreciated. One standout moment was their attention to detail. I had noted on the OpenTable app that it was her birthday, and they not only read the note but acknowledged her special day without me having to say a word to the staff. That personal touch made the experience memorable. Despite the small hiccup, we would definitely recommend this place, especially for special occasions.

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
