I had to use my flashlight to read the menu and couldn’t see my food as well as I would have liked. The food was very good, some outstanding even. Especially the birriadillas. The service was a bit amateurish considering the prices. The server and busser had to be stopped on no less than 4 occasions from taking away our drinks/plates that we weren’t finished with yet. Once was forgivable. Four times was downright annoying. Not sure if I’m done yet? Ask!

Would pass on the smoked potato wedges (just okay) and the rib and polenta plate was just okay, the polenta was overly seasoned (rare for me to say this since I love cheese, but just had too much!) but the short rib was perfectly cooked! Drinks amazing!
