    Made reservations, got confirmation on the reservation, and they locked the doors as we were walking up to check in.

    Take a hint from the name of the place BADfins. It’s awful. Salty food. Bowl of guac had a weird spice on it which we were told was a glitch in the batch. Super salty food. My chicken came out ice cold. Service was great. But it stops there

    We think they were short on staffing because we had to wait waaay long for everything. The wait person was herself very nice and Very sympathetic but had just too many tables. Food was excellent but the overall experience was dampened by the long wait to get served, long wait for food and long wait for the check. In our reservation we were asked and we noted that it was our 30th wedding anniversary, yet no mention was made of that.

    Food was good, we had grouper bites, shrimp tacos and the poblano burger all good flavor and fresh. The service was okay, not very attentive. Tacos are supposed to come with chips and salsa, I wanted to upgrade to street corn I was told I could do so for an additional charge as expected. Got my bill and I was charged for an a la carte street corn and didn’t receive the side that usually comes with the tacos. So that was disappointing. Overall a good experience.

    Only outside seating… but broken fans. Found hair in food, manager told us no one on line has that type of hair and they use hair nets and hats.. went inside to use rest room… saw the guy with super curly hair and no hair net. I mean… why lie? This place only makes it because of location.. oh yeah, they only serve wine based cocktails… and charge a ton for them! The server was great tho!
