   Did not have sufficient staff on hand to accommodate a busy Saturday night. One bartender was overwhelmed and attempting to also service tables. Waited one hour for food and one entree was cold. Both entrees had topping sauce reversed. One guest can’t have dairy so didn’t eat their meal. Have eaten here multiple times and is usually very good, but this was the worst restaurant experience we’ve had since moving to NMB.

   Sorry for the lack of pictures, I really never leave reviews. However, this place earned it. "The grill" section of their menu is all bangers. I hate ordering steak because I can just make it myself, but we were both craving it, so we got the tampiquena and the jalisco ribeye, and they were both 11/10. Everyone needs to go here and don't get fajitas and quesadillas. Order something chefed up. You won't regret it. Drinks are also awesome. The view of the marsh is incredible. Tequila selection is the best at the beach.

   Good food and service. We had the Chicken Chimichanga and the Mar Y Terre....both were very tasty and the service was attentive and pleasant!

   The food was really good. The manager was our server and he made the moment even more fun. He was friendly and really polite.

   Our server was great- the chips and salsa were fantastic! The portion sizes were way too big- embarrassingly big. Four of us could have shared one entree. The chicken tortilla soup was more like chili than soup and came to the table lukewarm. My nachos were also not hot, like they had been sitting around for a bit. Everyone else at the table seemed to like their food. Overall good. Would go back and use a different strategy when ordering.

   Really nice interior, good location and great view. Had a Menu was diverse and interesting. Had a very good server. Unfortunately food was “just Ok”. Will go back for drinks and snacks but not for dinner.

   I had the short ribs chimichangas, my wife had the seafood enchiladas. Both were great with lots of flavor and plenty on the plate. Drinks, margaritas, were delicious! Desert was not so great but ok. The lava cake was a bit dry.
