To begin our reservation was probably given to someone else with the same first name. Probably didn’t bother to verify last name as well. So reservation being at 7pm didn’t get seated till 7:25pm. I requested a high top seat didn’t get that. Probably because the person who they gave my reservation to took it. Service was extremely slow. When we finally got our drinks,we order our appetizer and went ahead to order our main meals. Well we got everything together after waiting more than usual. Food was good. Drinks were good as well. But just the overall experience didn’t make us want to get another round of drinks knowing this was going to take long too so we decided to leave. Our waiter didn’t check up on you that much to see how it was going or if we needed anything. I wouldn’t recommend this place for a holiday dinner. It’s just going to ruin your experience.

We ordered the Sopesitos mini corn sopes but they were extra mini, I remember they were a reasonable mini size and flavorful. We ordered the fish ceviche and it tasted fishy and slimy. We ordered the Sopa Azteca and for being a soup it was served warm, I prefer my soups/broth be served hot. The alcohol drinks were fine we ordered 4 beverages. We will not be returning because the quality and value of the food is gone. There are many other places with better quality food and value. We spent $138 with tip.
