    Maybe we visited on an off night. The bar was incredibly slow. First drink took 20 minutes. Second drink showed up after we were done eating. There was some private event near where we were seated that involved teenagers in bathing suits yelling and screaming and loudly bouncing a soccer ball around. Doesn’t exactly make for a relaxing dinner experience. We rarely saw our server. She never asked how our food was. The food was ok. But not better than ok.

    We had Sunday brunch; it's a good thing we made a reservation! The food selection was good and flavourful. We had the bottomless mimosa, bloody mary, and margarita options. Mix and match. The service was quick and efficient. My only complaint was that the noise was just a little too loud.

    Sat at outside bar for the full Sunday buffet. Way too loud. No way to have conversation. Food was quite good but very limited variety for buffet? Why no baja fish tacos? Omelet chef friendly and excellent! Margaritas were bitter yuck, but mimosas ok. Bartenders were fast to refill, handle needs! Big crowd, wonderful sunny weather, full view of beach and ocean! Decent 2.5 hr experience, but probably won't repeat due to $70 total cost for one unless I win lottery.

    Thanks for the review, Don! We're glad to hear that you enjoyed our buffet and found our food excellent. We're sorry to hear that the noise level was too high and the variety was limited. We're always looking to expand our buffet selection and will consider your suggestion about baja fish tacos. We're glad you found our bartenders to service your needs. We hope you'll consider us again when you're in the area. Best, Lona Cocina Tequileria Management Team.
