    Great food and a nice taco Tuesday deal. It was the perfect place to celebrate my boyfriend’s birthday. Service is always top notch.

    A pleasure as always. I did leave my gift card (with the balance there, unless I forgot to get it back). But I am not worried at all, they all know us there. And will honor it (besides it's only $14 haha). It is a great night for a date and to meet friends. Never had a bad night yet. And the food is outstanding .

    You can’t beat OCRW deals!! I love their salmon! Absolutely delicious! I was able to get some zucchini instead of potatoes which was nice. The glaze is just delicious! The appetizer Aguachile G was ok. Light and refreshing but there was hardly any tuna in there. It was basically a cucumber salad. The flan was creamy and tasty! A little sweet but great way to finish the meal. Our server was good. Great food!!

    Menu offers a good selection of appetizers and entrees. Fun vibe but a bit noisy. Service from Sarah was superb! Affordable and plenty of parking.

    We were surprised that we were made to wait even though we had an OpenTable reservation and there were countless empty tables. Even more strange was that they seated 3 parties that arrived later than us and that did not have reservations before they seated us. In addition, when they finally led us to a table, they wanted to seat us in the most obscure corner, at the table farthest out in the terrace area right below a TV, where there was no heating and the TV blocked all light so there really shouldn’t be a table there. We asked to sit elsewhere and the person made us wait while he went to ask for permission. Overall it was a poor way of treating any customer, but especially ones with a reservation. The only reason we can think of for the way they treated us is that they don’t appreciate their Asian customers very much. The 3 parties that were seated ahead of us were white. We had been coming here since 2019, so we’re disappointed.

    This is a really nice place. Service is always great, we had Yuri and she was on top of things all night. House margarita was good and had a unique twist with the grapefruit. A little on the sweet side which I didn’t love. Their food specials are great! Every restaurant should do this to allow for a break on high cost of eating out. We appreciated it. I always get and love their mushroom tacos but last night they were sadly skimping on the mushroom. One taco had about three mushroom slivers. I figure if that’s the highlight of the dish, it should at least fill the tortilla shell. But other than that, it was tasty. Portions are perfect - not too much food.
