    Food is good every time but the pacing of courses is WAY off. We could barely finish a third of one dish before the next arrived. Skip dessert, particularly the churros, they were like sandpaper. Staff is nice but it does feel like they rush you, even on a slow night!

    This is a 10/10 mexican food experience. We loved the Birria, guacamole and queso fundido. Also I do not drink alcohol and they have a mocktail with agave so it tasted great!!!

    Have always made this place a go to of at the Wharf. Yesterday was the last time. Recommended to several friends for a birthday brunch. It started with the host service. He seemed annoyed overall either by being there or by answering questions asked. Our server - Marita C. Was very unpleasant and although we tried to be cordial and respectful to her she made us all very uncomfortable in the end. Typically brunch servers are very personable, pleasant and approachable always willing to go above and beyond. Maritza made it very clear that she was irritated. She gave very standoffish vague Answers to simple billing questions. Will not be dining at this place again. Had a very unwelcoming experience overall. The food was good which at least was a win.

    We had an excellent time our server was very knowledgeable and it is not TexMex. Don’t make that mistake and it is way better than Tex-Mex. I love it and we will be going back. Please try the mango frozen drink. It is absolutely amazing with the spicy rim
