    The waitress thought that we had order a seafood paella when we didn’t. When they brought the dish over to our table, we expressed how we absolutely did not order it but the waitress had strongly insisted that we did. She also made a comment about how we did not order enough food and made us pay for the dish. Very unprofessional and poor customer service. We told the waitress we’d pay for the dish this time, but going forward she should confirm the order with the party before taking it back to the kitchen. Typically restaurants would take the dish back, especially given we did not order it.

    Outstanding service and food was good. We were surprised at how quiet it was for a Saturday night. It seemed to be picking up after 9pm with a young crowd.

    I highly recommend eating here. The tacos and cocktails are incredibly delicious. They have a lot of variety to spend a great time. The shrimp paella is my favorite. It has a special flavor that you need to check out. Excellent service. I love the decoration and the music in the restaurant.

    Our waitress claimed she was never told about our table so we sat there for 25 min without a single person acknowledging us or even bringing water. Set a bad tone for the whole night and will likely not be going back. I’ve been there several times and the food is always decent but the service is awful and the bill is always outrageous for the amount of food you get. Not worth it.
