    We were tired and hungry, we got there, no one was at the front, we waited for about 10min all servers around kept just doing their thing, the host came out of the kitchen with a to go order and finally gave us a table at the entrance, it was cold. We requested and moved to another table. The food was ok. Hubby ordered a second beer that never came but the bill made it. Definitely not going back

    Music is too loud for my taste… My aguachile was more like a tostada portion and it wasn’t lemony in taste, the chile was not the salsa that goes with that particular plate. My nephews loved the wet burritos so that’s a plus and my nieces loved the barbacoa so that’s good to order too. My nephews drink was forgotten twice. I think I would go back only as a last option. I was not thoroughly impressed. It was my first time there, just an OK experience.

    This isn’t the first time I come to this location. I went after I proposed to my girlfriend and the vibe , lights and music were great. That was just a cherry on top but the food and drinks were the real deal. Portions and drinks were just a 10/10 you really got for what you paid for ! Servers weregreat and they help you out if you’re indecisive with suggestions. Will recommend and will be coming back !!

    I was excited for a nice Father’s Day dinner but was kind of disappointed. Not sure if they were short staffed but not a lot of people eating there and the time and service was not great.

    Really loud to the point we couldn’t talk and hear each other. Drinks and food were great. Check took forever to get. Very expensive.
