I enjoyed the nice cultural ambiance, very nostalgic. Loved the food and drinks, although I like my drinks more merry. Staff was very attentive and the Mariachis were great. Only one thing a little pricey and then I was charged 7$ credit card transaction fee.

Great place for special occasions. Unique, tasty dishes, and beautifully presented. The tropical guacamole was wonderful. The calavera (skull) dessert was awesome. Restaurant is a fun place with wonderful atmosphere. The seat bench was a bit “squishy”, wood benches would be better. I’d definitely come back here again. Can be pricey, but worth it

So we came here to celebrate one of my good friend’s birthdays and boy am I happy of the decision that I made by deciding to go here. We had a group of 7 people. The service the atmosphere the food the drinks the staff, everything was amazing! We were there for 6 1/2 hours and we were literally the last table to leave. We were just having so much fun talking dancing and enjoying the atmosphere of the restaurant itself. I highly highly recommend this place, would not go with any bad reviews on here whatsoever.

I really do not recommend anyone come to this place unless they want to wait more than 2 HOURS for their food. We had our reservation Friday at 7:30 pm and our food arrived at 9:50 pm. The guacamole was a total rip off, as you can see it was 3 pit and little guac for around $15 dollars. They sat us next to the speaker, which made us almost deaf, rescuing that the only good things were the mariachi band and the drinks. When the food finally arrived it was tasty but I wish they had told us that we were going to wait that long for a dish. When we went to pay we realized that they were charging $20 dollars for the use of the card, we demanded to speak with a manager because of the long wait for the food and they told us that he was not there, a lady helped us and was very cordial after all what we wait, she offered us a discount and that’s the only reason for which I gave them 2 starts.

We went on a Thursday and the service and food were amazing!! Our server was Erick and he was very friendly and attentive. Everything we ordered was delicious (I had the carne asada dish) and the double shot margaritas were definitely worth it. Loved the Latin mixes the dj’s were playing!

This place is a 10/10 for me! We plan on going back. The aesthetic of the place is very well decorated Although everything is pricey but it’s worth it, we had the taco dinner since it was our first time there you could never go wrong with tacos. But these tacos were so good. The meat was so soft it had great taste, the salsa was very flavorful! The drinks were all very tasty as well 10/10 They also have a club upstairs for a younger crowd in case you don’t like the music they play at the main floor! Only thing is you wait to be seated a good 25 mins when there is open tables im not sure why they make you wait.. Overall this place was a great experience ☺️

This place has a great atmosphere. They have music playing, and it’s just the right volume, so you can hold a conversation. The food is excellent. The food presentation is great. We took my wife to celebrate her birthday, and she was amazed. The personnel there were great. This is a great place to go to celebrate. It’s fancy and the food is worth the price. They have a fair amount of food for everyone to choose from. We asked for a desert, and they brought it with a candle for my wife. They sang happy birthday. Also, we got her a drink, and the presentation was amazing. After nine, the dj gets in, and there is a dance floor. We did not stick around for that. My brother says it’s good. Also there is a second floor for just dancing. I enjoyed this very much. I will definitely be visiting again.

This place can be so much better! The aesthetic is very nice and everything from the walls to the bathrooms were well decorated. However service was extremely disappointing. Upon arrival my party had a reservation at 8:45. We weren’t seated till 9:30. The staff was friendly and entertaining but I noticed everyone was everywhere. At times we would try to flag someone down and would take them longer then 15min to get to us. Add another 20min to receive what we asked for. The biggest offense was our food. It took over 2 and a half hours to get our food. I will admit we had a table of 15 but waiting 2 and a half hours is excessive by any standards. The food itself was good and the portions somewhat justified the price tag. Drinks are priced okay however a tower of margarita is $140. This was not worth it. This place is great and I hope they expand and learn as they go. However, I probably won’t be returning anytime soon.
