    The waiter was great, the food was good until an entire family of mice decided to come out for a stroll. Upon informing the manager, I was met very serious hostility. Disgusting!!!

    Awful service. Very strict About seating outside. Probably better to not go with a huge group. We constantly got yelled at for being in the way, but there was nowhere else to stand

    try one of their 18 frozen margaritas. They're strong - love the coconut. Have some free chips/salsa/almost guac and sit at the bar.
