Incredibly rude and slow service, made my girlfriend and I feel like we didn’t even matter. Took 45 minutes just to get chips and salsa and all the food was cold.

After an hour and a half, we’d been served one drink and a raw fish appetizer. We had an event to get to so we asked for our check and left. The restaurant was about half full. All we ordered was tacos. I had to find our waiter twice to get any service.

The only good thing was the service, very accommodating and did all they could to make us happy given the issues they had with the kitchen. We weren’t able to eat sadly because of the kitchen being backed up. We waited for our good for an hour and has to cancel due to having to get to another event. So, I don’t know how the food is…but the margarita and service was good

The kitchen and bar service were extremely backed up. 30mins to get our first drinks and took an hour just to get our chips and salsa and almost 1.5 hours to get our entrees. Our server was great and this was completely out of his control (ended up giving us 25% so we really appreciated that given the circumstance). The food was good, but not worth the wait.
