Second time here and there will be a third. Outstanding service and we love the unique menu. Specialty tacos and the street corn are my faves. Not traditional Mexican food … which is why we like it!!

Wonderful place to congregate. Our waitress was very attentive and did a nice job. However, as an older person, I was a bit taken back by her appearance. She had on really short shorts, and there was more skin showing than cloth, & too many tattoos, and too much hardware on her face for my taste. Maybe that's the image you want to project. It is not a professional appearance by a long shot. Why are short shorts and jeans that are all torn up in places allowed in a five dining establishment? It would be one thing if you were a sleazy bar but your place is much too nice for that. The steak burrito (this time) was not as tasty. But I can't say enough about your tasteful upscale decor. It is very pleasing to the eye. The way your help is dressed and the way your place is decorated -the two do not match.

The food was good but we waited over a half hour for our food. The restaurant wasn’t busy so it was odd that it took long for our food. The music was extremely loud too. I’m not sure I would return.

Not sure if the restaurant was under staff. We had our table at 4:30 which was great because our reservation was for 4:45. After that the service was slow. The food was not as good as previous time.

We were quickly greeted and seated as a group on time. Drinks and appetizers prefers were promptly taken. Slow to receive them which should have been our first hint. Entree orders were then taken. Orders came out slow and scattered. One was so late in coming after nearly an hour we just requested it as a to go order. Sad that this was the case as we’ve never experienced this in the past. This is always our go to place for family celebrations. Short staffed? Manager should have stepped in to explain but never did.
