    The food, as always, was very good. Unfortunately the service this time was subpar. Our waitress was extremely nice but we didn’t see her much. We had to ask for certain things from other staff. And our queso fundido appetizer didn’t arrive before our main dishes. We asked about it and the manager (I’m guessing) apologized and said we would get it after our meal. I explained we might not want it after our meal and he insisted we would get it. I thought maybe this meant we would be comped the appetizer based on him insisting we would get it but that didn’t happen. So they screwed up our order, insisted we take the food and also pay for it. Not great service by any stretch.

    Table was very sticky. Service was a bit slow but decently nice. Food was good! Probably a bit overhyped by being near water.

    Food and service was excellent. Margaritas were delicious and they don’t cheat on the liquor

    Had to move tables because it was dirty. Had to ask for utensils and napkins. Took 10 min just to get a waiter. Took 25 minutes to get our drinks which was watered down sangria. Food was taking longer so we just got up and left.

    We typically come here and have a fine experience, but this time we were trying to leave and couldn’t find our waiter for about 30 mins. We finally were able to flag down a different waiter who also couldn’t find him so he just brought our check and we were on our way. The end of the meal really soured our experience, so we probably will not be back.
