    The set up was pretty. They have it decorated for valentines. We ordered the Texan quesadilla and the steak tacos. The quesadillas had no flavor, none of the proteins did. The rice also has zero flavor… we were excited to try it because we’ve been seeing it on social media. Overall, I don’t think we’ll be going back.

    Great service and value. Food was delicious but even though plates were hot, the food was not hot. Would still go again.

    The restaurant was beautifully decorated for Christmas and that was the only good part of our dinner. the service was incredibly slow and when we finally got our food almost an hour later it was flavorless and dry. when it was brought up to the manager she was incredibly rude, there was no apology and she was unwilling to do anything to resolve the complaint, instead I was told we should have spoken up sooner except that we only saw our server 3x the entire time we were there (when she took our order, when she brought our food and when she gave us the check). disappointed isn’t a strong enough word to express how we all felt. Don’t waste your time or money going here.

    We had a family of 5 and we got seated right away on a sat night. The restaurant is nice and well decorated and in a good location off Oberlin Ave. We made a reservation but it looked like it wasn't really needed. The only gripe is we didn't get a waiter right away but the person that sat us seemed to go on break or didn't tell the waiter to come by. Once we got a waiter he was very good and attentive to our needs. The food was good, solid mexican. No complaints there and I think everyone enjoyed their meal. It is far away from us to stop by normally but maybe next time we are in the city. check them out!

    This was the WORST service I’ve ever experienced. Our server was extremely lackluster. We asked for suggestions had questions and she couldn’t give either. This was our first time, we traveled up from Charlotte to meet friends for dinner . I was extremely disappointed at the entire experience from the hostess to the server.

    The food was good and a great value. The ta le was a bit small to fit everything for 4 people ut not a major issue. I would definitely go back.

    Took us 30 minutes to get drinks and overall service was just poor. Other waiters were more attentive to our table than our own
