This is a great place to eat if you’re going to a show at the Stone Pony. Located across the street, it has good Mexican food and drinks with an ocean view. I love their empanadas and quesadillas.

The food was great and so was the service. Just disappointed at the vibe of the place. They’re going through renovations right now and we probably would’ve chosen another place for a special LDW meal with friends had we known. The walls were barren and missing fixtures. A disappointing look.

40 minute wait and we asked the waitress to hold back our entrees until we finished the appetizers. Entrees were delivered while we were still eating apps but they left them anyway. Then, someone in our group ordered a pork chop and asked for it without crème topping but it was delivered with tons of crème on top. We sent it back and waitress didn’t seem to care or offer to do something for the person who sent back their meal. Great apps, great location, sketchy service.
