    Only giving a 3 star and that is solely because the FOOD was TERRIBLE, SALTY and JUST BURNT, overcooked! And the food came out unorganized- waited over 1-2 hours for our food -group of 12 and then it had to go back for correction of our original request. How does a salad take 1 hour?!? The kitchen needs to get better organized. Truly wont be returning to eat there. (We will go next door to TAP42) Several of us won’t up with belly aches, completely sick with swollen gums/lips due to the overwhelming salt portions. However, the 3 star is solely for the good ambiance & music, nice decor, GREAT drinks, AWESOME server ( go HARLEY! )She was on point and quite attentive. We will only go for drinks and ambiance!

    Thank you for sharing your feedback with us. We're glad to hear that you enjoyed the steak french fries. However, we're very sorry to learn that the chicken quesadillas were too salty and did not meet your expectations. We hope you'll give us another chance to make it right and provide a better experience next time.

    Yo, this place used to be lit, but not anymore! The carne asada tacos? Salty as hell! And the mahi mahi? Not even fresh, man. But hey, the original margarita? Solid. And the service? Pretty good, gotta give 'em that.
