    The food was very good but the service and ambiance were super weird. We talked to a waiter once, who then ignored us for the rest of our meal. The bartender became our waiter and he was great, but then the kitchen took 20 minutes to put together a chip and dip tray when we were one of two groups in the entire dining room? It was a bizarre dining experience. I would try it again if we were downtown anyway but it was overpriced and the service was too weird for me to recommend to anyone.

    Reserved a table with opentable. Got there and hostess says she doesn’t have her iPad but sure she can seat us. Good thing I didn’t reserve a specific table or have more than 3 ppl bc we wouldn’t have had anywhere to sit. Ppl make reservations for a reason. Waiter was preoccupied and Service sucked. Food was adequate but nothing to brag about. Definitely NOT worth the price. Unless you just need somewhere to hang out u til game time or concert time, I don’t recommend going here. Only plus is that it is literally right across from front of Bridgestone arena.

    The food was incredible and it was awesome that they took reservations and were right next to Broadway. My only complaint was the air conditioner. It was on full blast under our table and we were pretty cold.

    We had a reservation and they “accidentally” overbooked so we had to wait for a table. Once we got a seat, it took over 40 minutes to get tacos. The good was great, but don’t come if you have a show after.

    Seated next to the live music was just too loud for us. A very small room with extremely loud music to the point you can't have a conversation with your guest. There were other tables further away that would have been better, but we didn't get one of those. A little pricier than i believe it's worth, to just have tacos and a taco salad with no alcohol ran about $45. We did have chips/salsa and the grilled corn. I could recommend to others that may enjoy the louder atmosphere, but i likely won't be back. Also, this is the first Mexican restaurant that i have been in that you have to purchase the chips/salsa rather than being included in the meal.
