Ambiance and music were great. Food was well prepared. My shared the seafood flautas which were great tasting. My wife had the quesadillas which were good. I had the shirt ribs which could have used more sides beyond the ribs themselves for the price. The service was friendly, but slow. We had to ask for water a few times with servers looking around trying to look busy. The drinks menu was a bit limited as it was almost entirely margaritas. Overall, it was good for a date night. I'd go back to check out their other menu items.
