    We did not have a good experience at this restaurant. The service was poor. We had two waiters and they were not on the same page. Would take forever to get new drinks and order food. Worst part was we had to send back our entree (fajitas for 2) due to the food having a spoiled smell to it. When we complained the host seemed annoyed and asked if we were sure we wanted to send back. When it was time to pay they were charging us $70 for an appetizer. If we hadn’t paid attention to the bill we would have overpaid. We will not be returning.

    El Bolero is a fave. Great food and a fun environment. Always lively and the staff is so nice. Service was a bit slow but I would still give it a try!

    Took a while to be greeted. Sat outside on the patio because it was a nice evening. Bright, harsh lights really mess with the ambience. Server came back 20 minutes after placing drink order to ask what we had ordered to drink. Food came out quickly but fajitas weren’t served with tortillas. Server apologized, asked if we wanted flour or corn and then brought the wrong one. When I asked for the correct one, he brought them and then charged us $6 for them?! We were so over the whole experience that we just paid and left. It wasn’t worth continuing the headache.

    The food and service were outstanding. Unfortunately, the restaurant was under-staffed. Our table of five didn’t mind waiting a long time on drinks and food. At least they kept chips and salsa in front of us during the wait. We’ll be back again. Very high quality ingredients and care was put into every dish. Thank you.

    We had reservations for 8:30 and we were seated and it took a good 15 minutes before any waiter came to our table. We had to ask another person to grab our waiter. The wait staff was mostly just standing around not doing much. We ordered a margarita pitcher and it just wasn’t a very good margarita! Food was eh. Id save your money and go elsewhere.

    The restaurant has pretty decor, but not what I expected. The food was okay, but the drinks were slightly better. I was least impressed by the chips and salsa.

    One of my favorite places to eat. The food is great. The stuffed avocado was fantastic...and the Mariscos Tacos are a fave. Great group of people working there. Service could be a little stronger at the bar tables but I will still go back anytime.

    Need to improve waiting staff service. They were slow and did not check on our table (or other tables for that matter) often enough.
