Overall, I enjoyed my meal. I hope to never have the waiter again. Not friendly or very attentive. And I personally dislike when they smell like they just had a cigarette.

When we arrived for lunch the restaurant was relatively empty. We were having a business lunch for 4 people and asked for a larger table however we told that they couldn’t do that. After our two hour lunch, several large tables were still left empty. The server was not nice at all, every request seemed to annoy him. Even at one point, he made a face when we asked for additional chips. While I understand people have bad days in the service industry, you have to put on a happy face. He seemed to annoyed with his job. The food was flavorless, I have never had to add salt and pepper to Mexican food. Even the chips were bland, we asked for medium flavor on the guacamole , it again had zero flavor. Had to add salt and pepper. Nothing on any of our plates was flavored except the soup my co-worker had. Unfortunately, I would not go back or recommend because of the poor service and lack of flavor in the food.

The venue is quite attractive in a South Western motif. The servers are knowledgable and friendly. The chip basket and salsa is presented immediately. The qaucamole is made tableside to your specifications. The main entrees i have had have all been very good. Bean and rice are served for the table. I suggest reservations on a weekend. My only complaint is that on some evening there is not a standard frozen lime Margaretta on the menu. I must say I don't understand that one?

Clearly a popular spot but just too noisy for us. Service had a difficult time staying on top of things. Had to wait a while for our "reserved" table. Good food, good portion sizes.
