    The food was just amazing!! My son had the lobster special and I had the beef Wellington. One of the best meals we’ve ever had. And service is so friendly.

    Amazing service, great steak and wine list. The Brussels sprouts with bacon and mashed potatoes with garlic were delicious. The crème brûlée was perfectly balanced with berries. Overall a great experience, will definitely go back.

    First time visit to Taco Guy and really enjoyed it. I had two of the specials - Mexican oysters and a shrimp/scallops cerviche dish. Very inventive and very delicious. I have found my new favorite Mexican restaurant. As for libations, I think they specialize in drinks as opposed to wine. Only 3 wines by the glass. The one I ordered - a Spanish Grenacha - came in a thin can, which took me (sort of a wine guy) by surprise. But, and here's the important point, I enjoyed it and had a second one! So, it's not the quantity but the quality that's important. I'm looking forward to going back again soon.

    Wonderful experience overall, ambience, service, food all very good. A tad difficult to converse because of background noise, but not terribly so. Prices quite high, but in line with other restaurants of this caliber. Would definitely recommend.
