Service and atmosphere was great, but they use SOY oil and I’m allergic. Everyone else ate what they wanted, and I got sick with a salad. Then had to ask for oil and vinegar on the side because all the salad dressings available had soy too.

I love this place I went to this place about two days ago I loved it the T-Bone stake Was so delicious so tender and delicious. I also got a pina colada (Non-Alcoholic) and it was so good 5/5 if I could give this place a 10/10 I would and my server Juan was so nice

Very good flavor and ambience, prices are reasonable. Make sure you ask for the prices because they just charge you without letting you know the difference between the orders. I order a Piña colada for happy hour and they charge $24 for just one and In the menu was just $12 when I asked, the server told me that they give me the big one because I never asked for the happy hour even do I showed her directly in the menu. The same for a order of tacos.

This place is a whole vibe! We love coming here. They serve great authentic Mexican food and drinks. It’s a good spot to come for lunch and happy hour (they have really great specials). The service is great, and everything’s reasonably priced. Sign up for their free loyalty program and get 10 bucks off your order. Everything on the menu is delicious.

Good drinks and appetizers were nice . Music is very loud so can’t have a conversation. It has party atmosphere all the time . Portions are big and food is good Mexican food. A good place to party / girls night , not a family dinner kind of place .
