    Great experience! So easy to make a reservation for a large group. When more people showed up than we expected, the servers were really accommodating and moved more tables over for us. They even gave us separate checks. Everyone was so friendly, nice and helpful. The food and drinks were delicious. Our group will definitely be heading back!

    Delicious food and attentive service. I had the filet mignon taco and it was delicious. The sauce is spicy so if you don’t do spicy order without it!

    Our experience at this restaurant was poor unfortunately. Service was horribly slow. I realize it was a busy evening mid week still, we had reservations. It took a long time for us to get seated past, and then it took us another hour to get someone to even come by the table for water. we won’t be coming back to

    Thank you for sharing your feedback with us. We sincerely apologize for the poor experience you had during your visit. We understand how frustrating it must have been to wait so long for a table and service, especially with a reservation in place. While busy evenings can sometimes present challenges, this is no excuse for the delay and lack of attentiveness you experienced. Providing prompt and attentive service is a top priority for us, and we clearly fell short in your case. Your feedback is incredibly important, and we’ll be addressing this with our team to ensure such delays and missteps are avoided in the future. We’re truly sorry that your experience has led to this impression of us.

    Wow, I haven’t visited this restaurant in 2 years. The food and drink prices are up by 50% and the portions are 50% less! The appetizers chicken flautas are now chicken taquitos, definitely miss advertising ! The tacos are all now street taco size. There is a $4 charge for chips and salsa and house wine is $14 a glass. The only redeeming factor was a wonderful waiter!
