We were in the standard seating area. It wasn’t very busy for a Monday night but our server was the only one serving several tables. She was very responsive. The food was great. I had the Pescado tacos. Great flavor and good size portions. My son had the Octopus tacos. I had a bite and they were cooked perfectly. Great seasoning too. Of course, the margaritas were delicious

The staff is awesome. I enjoyed the food but my refried beans taste like there from the can. But, all in all I enjoyed it.

We we a party of 3, it was our first time there. we had food & drinks, we had a waitress named Gloria, she was very pleasant & had great recommendations, So for drinks we had Michelada & Cucumber Tamarindo margarita which were very good. For food we had chicken quesadillas, shrimp chile relleno plate with refried beans & mexican rice, also had the Sea bass with cilantro rice & charro beans. We all tasted each others food and were very pleased with the presentation & taste overall. I would definitely recommend this place & can’t wait to come back.

First time there - had a great experience. All of our food and drinks were really good…from the drinks, chips & salsa, main courses, and all the way through to dessert. My favorites were the flight of margaritas, the street tacos and the churros for dessert. The spiked horchata was also a great addition to dessert.
