   Excellent location, food was spectacular. Service was okay, nothing to brag about. I feel hostess and wait staff could have provided better service to match the amazing food and atmosphere. Pricing is good and we would definitely go back.

   We were staying at the W through VRBO and were starving after a day from hell of travel. We thought to stay local and get a bite to eat and start the unwind process for our family vacation. Everything was perfect. The food was delicious, the margarita was great and the service was amazing. The place is really cute and gives you a Mexican vibe from the decor to the art on the walls. The menu is not too large, which we prefer, so the chef can perfect a few items instead of churning out many menu items. We had the guacamole, steak nachos, and fried shrimp appetizers which was the perfect amount for a really hungry family of five. For our entrees we ordered fish tacos, shrimp tacos, steak tacos, and chicken tacos. Everyone was happy with their meal and we vowed to return again. Unfortunately we wanted to try a variety of places and didn't make it back, but heard by another hotel guest that we should order the corn side dish next time. We will be back!

   Food and ambiance were excellent as always. Our server was a bit inattentive and slow to respond to needs. But we’ll be back.

   Service was ok. Valet parking was excellent. Food was good, but expensive. Pitchers are small and $60 a piece-however they were very very good. The waitress had us split our own check-doing our own math and trying to figure it all out. Overall, good environment but on the high end for what we were expecting.

    Food was good. Service was poor. Restaurant ran out of Diet Coke. I can live with that. But had to ask two times to get tea and water refills. Salsa served in a thimble sized container. Had to ask the Manager for a check and it took 10 minutes to get it. Totally not the experience wanted or paid for.
