    Took about 20-30 minutes for waitress to take our order. We sat in the middle of 2 large groups and every time they had to get up or a worker came up, they had to go right in between the tables so we had a whole lot of glutes in our faces and on our table. Not to mention our table was VERY wobbly. Spent about $200 for mediocre food; expected more quality. I’m Hispanic and the food they serve is definitely not worth the price they sell it for. Only good thing was the alcoholic drinks. I would come back only for the drinks, no food.

    Food fine. Drinks ok. Overpriced. Music does not go with the Mexican restaurant vibe.

    Espresso martini was amazing as always. Had the milanesa this time around and it was to die for. Our server, Micaiah, was great as always- we will be requesting him from now on! Definitely recommend for date night, the ambiance is beautiful.

    The tacos were delicious. I love the vibe. The music was a little loud more like a nightclub however, I really enjoyed it. I will definitely be returning.
