    Restaurant was closed when I arrived for my reservation on my birthday. Did not receive any prior notice and there were no signs posted.

    We made a reservation on Open Table, received a confirmation, but when we showed up (on a Saturday night) the place was all closed up and dark! Party of 10 left with nowhere to eat dinner last minute!! When we called the number was disconnected.

    Service was as bad as could be- grossly understaffed and those who were on staff acted like they couldn’t care less about diners.

    Was empty for a saturday afternoon but it was beautiful inside! Perfect for pictures and all food was prompt and hot. Our waitress didn’t seem like she cared to be there so that was a small negative but overall would definitely go again and recommend to others!

    Each dish was fresh, colorful, flavorful and satisfying. We tried the spinach enchiladas, shrimp and chicken fajitas, fish tacos and shrimp chiles rellenos. The guacamole was good, but needed a touch more lime and salt, easily corrected.

    Veggie tacos were good and decent price but the meat and seafood items seemed overpriced but in full disclosure I did not order them. Service was great and the place is gorgeous. However, the music was this awful fake pop music (re-recorded pop songs, so not by original artists) and there were commercials that played in between some songs as well. It was very distracting and given the price point of the restaurant, off-putting.
