    The Duck Quesidillas and hand crafted margaritas were a perfect way to start our night out!

    Ok restaurant with Ok food. The setting/location is nice. The place has potential to grow into a more exclusive, chic establishment (if the owners wanted to take it there) but right now is a bit rough around the edges and lacks focus (I.e. neither 100% sports bar, restaurant etc but all kind of mixed up).

    Great food, service and ambiance. Only disappointment is they even charge for the salsa (2.50), and a small bowl of guacamole is expensive (7.50)!

    We met friends from Port Charlotte before going to see Cirque de Sol. The meal started off the evening in a great way. Our friends were impressed with our choice for dining, but we had been to the Cantina before as well as to the 4th St location of Red Mesa several times. We keep coming back because we always enjoy the meal and the service.

    Food was just fine. The garlic in the shrimp mojo de ajo should have been sauteed longer, but the overall dish was delicious.

    I was very disappointed in the fact that the menu here is very different than the 4th St location. They don't have nearly as many full entrees, fish or even the enchiladas. It is very noisy and just not as good as the 4th st location. The outdoor area is very pretty, but it seems to be more of a bar-type atmosphere.

    Went here for a late lunch and food and atmosphere was very good. Only complaint was that our meal came out minutes after our appetizer. Next time will order appetizer first, then meal.

    Enjoy girls night out here. Great food and good energy. The only negative was after providing good service, the waitress ditched us once she left the checks.

    The entrees here were pretty darn good. I got the scallop ceviche and was very impressed. My friends were all very impressed with their food as well. The atmosphere was fun! The outside patio was a bit full, so we sat inside - which was nice, as well. I totally want to go back!
