   Hostess was rude but our waitress was very sweet. The place was basically empty which was surprising because the hotel was fully booked. Once we got our food we discovered why no one ate there. Across the board awful. Food was cold and flavorless.

   No authenticity. The ambiance was so strange. The fajita was terrible. My kids said they thought they were chewing gum. I never spit out steak until tonight, since I couldn't chew it all the way. We only loved the roasted jalapeno, but we ordered fajitas for two, so we thought we would get two jalapenos and we thought we would get more meat with the meal. The fajita for two was more lita fajita for one. Try another place.

   The food was very good and we enjoyed it. We were seated at the very back of the restaurant and did not get much attention from the staff.

   Server was super nice, food was subpar. Mexican food was very Americanized, lacking flavor/seasoning. Kids enjoyed their kid’s meals. Portions were big.

   Horrible service! 1 of 2 tables in this section and was ignored for near 20 minutes before we received any service. Then proceeded to be rude once we received service.

   Despite having a reservation, we waited about 15 minutes, with a toddler, before we were seated. Then, it took a long time for food to arrive. When we wanted to leave, our server was nowhere to be found to pay and get togo boxes. Not a great experience.

   We had a great dinner except two of our meals came out cold so had to send back. Other than that we had good service and enjoyed the dinner. Had 2 pitchers of margaritas and they were delicious!! The restaurant is very nice and big. There were 7 of us including 3 children so had a big group! Overall very good review!

   Service was extremely slow and not good. Food was even worse. The gringo taco tasted like chlorine, asada taco was sooooo dry, they did not even bring out the side to go with our tacos so we have to wait 15 minutes for those, rice tasted like cardboard. It was not gooooood at all. I'm highly disappointed at $120 later

    For the price, I would have thought that the beef fajitas would have been more tender. Our waitress was pleasant, she either had too many guests or needs a little more work on her attentiveness
