Honestly the food is good, as good or maybe a little better than a similar style restaurant. But the food comes out quick and the staff is all smiles. Really makes a difference.

The margaritas are big and strong! Food was solid. I thought the service could have been better but the food and drinks definitely made up for any shortcomings. They have a great patio as well.

The hard taco is the best fried tortilla I have ever had. Has more of a flake consistency vs a chip type texture. Ingredients were all fresh. Loved them!

Please don't go to a restaurant and essentially climb all over each other in front of everyone. But the food is delish!

Worst dining experience in a long time! Server and hostess were rude. Food was not as advertised. Don't go here. Mi Mexico is way better in value, service and ambience!

Don't get the watermelon margaritas—they don't taste right and even our waiter tried to talk us out if it

Not impressed. Server and host surly. Burrito puny. Chips not warm. Salsa nothing special. Left still hungry.
