    Food was delicious and Server Jay was the best! Had great suggestions and was very attentive. I would suggest a longer wine list.

    beautiful decor. food was good. Big drinks that were strong, but a little too sugary. It was a little loud for talking. overall I'd give it a four out of five stars.

    We had a booking at 9:30 and made days ago but we got the table at 10. What’s the point of having a reservation and not honouring it. But apart from that the food was excellent and amazing. The ambience and the atmosphere was very nice. They could probably use better chairs. But overall enjoyed it and would come back again for sure.

    Reservation times don’t matter here. We were waiting for 40 minutes after our reservation time to get seated. We were told we couldn’t get a drink at the bar or stand by the bar because that was reserved which is ridiculous, so the guests had to stand around a small vestibule just waiting in the cold. Otherwise the food was good. Our waiter jay was great. But this place was poorly managed. Overbooking people then having them wait. The manager didn’t accompany us at all. This place is good for the atmosphere. My suggestion avoid Fridays and Saturdays or you’ll be waiting regardless of a reservation.

    One of the best Mexican restaurants in the Metuchen area. Service: Hostess and servers were welcoming and really provided great service. Even with the pressure of the Valentine’s Day crowd they kept their cool and really kept the operation moving and provided top service. We didn’t feel rushed but they were able to keep us sitting the 2 hr max time slot during for this holiday. Food and cocktails: Sooo delicious. There was nothing we ordered that wasn’t delicious and really well made. The cocktails were perfect. The right mix. Thank you for the great cooks and bartenders. Atmosphere: Super cool. Loved the artwork at the bar. They had entertainment that wasn’t overly loud but really drew our attention. Just a fun place to be on a Friday night. I’ll definitely be back and if you’re in the area you should check it out as well.

    Excluding Guacamole everything I had was good.. attentive service but not as frequent as I would’ve preferred assuming giving privacy and busyness of the place impacted frequency… drinks were good.. overall it’s good place for date night and family night nice balance.. Back to Guacamole maybe management should consider fresh guacamole made in front of the customer… BTW forgot way way too many bday celebrations

    I really like this place, the food is great, the decor and ambiance are also great. I will say my last 2 servers were not the best, but I’ll give it another chance.
