    The restaurant was empty, the prices are way too high. The waiter kept trying to upsell us which was annoying. The food was delicious but had a lot of vegetable oil in it. I’d eat here again but I will simply ask our server to talk to us after we get our food and to leave us alone. It’s obvious he was just doing his job but it it was annoying.

    I love Rick Bayless! First time we had business dinner at this location. Everyone loved the mixed hummus appetizer, drinks, and entrees. We has the camarone and yucca, Carne asada tacos, and pulled pork. All very delicious! I loved my Berry mocktail. Only the noise level was high. Had a hard time to hear our server.

    Food was great. The server was friendly and knowledgeable. I’m a gluten free and that’s important for me that yje server knows the menu.

    Great food, with great service. We sat outside on the patio. It was a little packed in but we sat away from the high traffic area. The food came out hot and tasting awesome!

    This place was amazing. If you park in the lime garage it’s just around the corner when you exit. The food was magnificent and the music was authentic. Definitely going back
