Unfortunately would not agree with that, and the food was mediocre. A lot of the food we ordered (Guacamole, Salmon, Baja Fish Tacos) used onions as an overpowering element, and that’s all we tasted. Music was loud both inside and outside. While service was good and they had kids menus with crayons, it wasn’t really a great calming atmosphere.
