"The Brisket Tacos are great as well as the nachos! This last time I was there though the house margaritas were served in a small mason jar for some reason which wasn't ideal for me and my party and were VERY weak. Still though, it is a great place to dine at!"

"I did not appreciate that they automatically added 20% gratuity to the bill. That was audacious. I don't like to be told how much to tip!! There is better Mexican food elsewhere. Very limited menu. Unhappy..."

"My family and I are vegetarians and this place had great options for us! The tostada salad was excellent and the kitchen made us enchiladas with fresh veggies (off the menu) which was also fantastic. We didn't have the fajitas, but they looked great from what I saw. Definitely going again! This is a great place to take a large group of people - it seems like they can handle large crowds well and there's something for everyone on the menu! Check it out :)"

"Good menu with lots of options. Above average for basic Mexican cuisine.
My only complaint is that our bill (for a table of 6) had a 20% gratuity included. We weren't paying attention and tipped 20% on top of that. The waiter probably could have told us the tab included tip before he put it on the table but he REALLY should have told us after he went to ring it up. Kind of disappointed by that because he was otherwise a very good waiter. But not 40% tip good."

"We had a reservation for a party of 6. We thought we'd have to wait a while to be seated on a Friday night even with a reservation but we didn't. They seated us right away in a nice booth. The hostess was friendly and upbeat, the same experience I had with the hostess who called to confirm my reservation. The serve was adorable, fun and friendly. The food was fine. Nothing special but had some flavor. It was all pretty healthy as well. The server was really great about taking some of the fattening sauces and tortillas and putting them on the side so our food was healthier and we could add as we wanted. This made a huge difference for this very healthy crowd. It was a fun expereince but ridiculously loud and difficult to talk."

"Hostess was challenged with accommodating our reservation, needs and requests. We waited a very long time even with a reservation and several parties were seated before us. We had a party of 6 and the hostess continued to seat parties of 2 at the larger tables , making us have to wait for a large table because none were available. When asking how much longer our wait would be, the same hostess said "are you waiting for a table?". Clearly our group was not a priority, so we left after a long wait and dined elsewhere. I have enjoyed this restaurant before, bit will not return after the inhospitable service and lack of care taken with our reservation."

"Food is great...guacamole was terrific, suizas and lobster enchiladas were both very good. Service was so-so, slow and distracted. We got guacamole long before chips to eat it with, drinks took forever, and then entrees came almost as soon as the chips arrived for the guacamole. Crowded and noisy but fun atmosphere. Service was the big issue."

"There was a slight mix up with my reservation but luckily not during a busy time. My boyfriend and I said we'd wait for the rest of our party at the bar but all the while my party was seated in the back. After figuring this out our server was so nice to allow us to continue happy hour prices on our margaritas. Yummy food too!"

"We were told our table wasn't ready when got there and that it would be a few minutes. We waited about 30 minutes (past our reservation time) before asking, and then we were immediately sat once we asked. Not sure what they were waiting for. Where we were sat there were plenty of tables open, but we know it also depends on the servers sections so we weren't upset about it. We told the server that we had a movie to catch and she was great and got out in time."

"Went here for valentines day! I had been one time before and thought my boyfriend would like it we so decided to make a reservation. The restaurant is decorated very beautifully, and we were seated in a nice booth. There are a lot of people at the bar, so it can get somewhat loud. Service was okay; not super attentive, but decent. My boyfriend is from Mexico City and he said that the food was very good considering it is not authentic Mexican. I enjoyed it! The mojito he got was excellent and we finished our meal with churros. Overall a good experience; will definitely return"
