    I thought it was great. I’ve bn to many Mexican places on the island n this one is better then most. Mostly the rice and beans is neglected but theirs was fresh and flavorful. I like it

    When i visited they did not have their liquor licence yet. Soo it was BYOB. WIth that option it allowed me to purchase MORE food items. The CORN is a must try

    This is a hidden gem. Quiet earlier in the evening. Still a nice ambiance. I had the chicken enchilada and it was absolutely fantastic. The honey had the Santa Fe Salad and it was awesome as well.

    Love the atmosphere and the food is decent. The margaritas are delicious though. The one with the cucumbers and jalapeño is a game changer.

    They do have their liquor license now and the margaritas are amazing. Try the $12 ginger margarita. Mellow but very tasty.

    Margharitas, guacamole, corn chips and fish tacos and you're set. Great rooftop spot suitable for groups.

    Atmosphere is nice & modern good for a date, food is just ok either being over spiced or bland & needing salt. Portions are bigger than you think. Drinks are mediocre. Service is nice but slow.

    Average at best. This place is all about drinks. Their salsas are bland and the food is it’s okay. Come here for drinks and eat somewhere else.

    Good food, but you can get better Mexican food elsewhere and spend less

    We saw not one but 3 ENORMOUS cockroaches scurrying around the restaurant. When we mentioned it to the hostess she said she wasn't surprised and remarked they had seen them earlier that day. Gross

    Place sucks, food mediocre, at best. Shrimp tacos like if red lobster opened a Mexican restaurant and put popcorn shrimp in tortilla. Anxious waiter little too sassy and put extra stuff on the bill.
