    Mediocre. Drove up to Metzys since it was a nice day and they were also hosting music video bingo. We started off with some drinks that were okay. I had a blackberry margarita, which had no blackberry flavor....just blackberrys thrown in it. My husbands strawberry marg did taste better than mine. Also ordered the salsa flight - guac, ranchero and pineapple mango....The pineapple mango was the star of the show. Guac was definitely missing something. We finally decided on some food. Ordered a burrito, two tacos and some refried beans. Saw our food finally come up to the pass and then just sit there and sit. This place seems to be more involved in making sure that all of there take out orders and completed first before the in house patrons are taken care of. And also the host of bingo was very dull. This place left a lot to be desired especially at a $104.00 bill.

    7 months ago I left a 4 star review. I'm not sure what happened from then to now. But the service was slow. The drinks were lack luster and waaaaaayyyy over priced along with the burnt so called empanadas and the Luke warm tacos. My wife got a 1 drink and a quesadilla. 163.00$. We could have went to hibachi and got the works for our anniversary. Instead we got ripped off and served crap.

    Not good- not what we were looking for- which was a classic fajita and a solid margarita. The bbq meat was interesting and good but didn’t belong in a burrito in my opinion. The margarita was so tart that it tasted just like pure lime juice and tequila- unenjoyable for us.

    Menu items sounded great but were disappointing. The brussel sprouts in the taco were hard, would have been much better if stem ends were trimmed and they were cut in half to cook more thoroughly and mix in with other ingredients better.

    We have tried to hard to make this a go to spot. It's got the perfect set up for dining with families-we can bring scooters and chalk, lawn games are provided and there's plenty of space for the kids to run around. But..the place is always a disaster. When we sat down Saturday night, within minutes several tables had up and left due to waiting over 30 minutes for drinks and to order. More of this occurred throughout our dinner. We went into the night wirh low expectations, we've had bad experiences before but we just wanted to grab a drink while the kids played and we're hoping the food would have improved with the new chef. However, with only one waitress and an abundance of take out orders (we overheard when they eventually had to turn off online ordering) we were left with long waits for anything, wrong orders, and just bland and cold food. They should really go back to focusing on good tacos and mexican food. It's clear there's a high turnover rate and with the uncomfortable and noticeably tense work environment I can see why. We would love to see this place turn around but unfortunately after SO many tries, I can't recommend this place if you're looking for good flavorful food, accurate orders, or a timely dinner experience.

    Cool ambiance and atmosphere. It was a Friday night, the dining room was so quiet, barely anyone inside, TV was on. Music would have livened the atmosphere. Margaritas and guacamole were good. Unfortunately, the bar was very slow so only got to try one drink by the time dinner was finished. Our server Owen was friendly and attentive.

    Food was great but not the service. First, our server forgot to bring us our starter chips and salsa until, after we saw another couple get theirs even though they were seated well after us, we reminded him. He then brought them right away. I ordered cheese enchiladas. After they brought my and my wife's meals, I tried my enchiladas and they had chicken. I know it was my order because I substituted refried beans and they had the verde topping. My wife had pretty much finished her meal (she took some home) by the time I received what I ordered after tracking down the server. I know forgetting the starter chips was the server's fault but I don't know if the kitchen was to blame for the chicken being in the enchiladas. We'll go there again to give it another try because the food was very good.

    Food very mediocre, lacked flavor. More bbq flavors than Mexican. Long wait for tap beers sitting on counter and app came out before, then beers came 15 minutes later. Pineapple- mango salsa was applesauce consistency with not much flavor. Overall, edible, but nothing was worth the price. Waitress was friendly but overworked despite other workers available but who were concentrating more on takeout orders than diners inside.
