I came here today to eat dinner and have drinks with some friends and had a great time. Our server greeted us quickly and even the manager, Nate, greeted us promptly as well. It was refreshing to see a manager that was so hands on. Our food was running a little long and Nate came out to keep us posted and was very pleasant. Food was great, drinks were cold and we had an amazing time. The open bar and patio added a very nice touch.

I liked this place a lot. Good food, decent value and I really like their seating options. We got to sit right next to an open garage door on a gorgeous day. We had a great waitress (Vicky i think) and she was quick to get us what we needed. I enjoyed my meal and the whole experience. I was with my family of 5 you, should go.

Tacos were not very good at all. Had beef & chicken on soft shell. Little bit pricey for minimal amount of food given. We were overlooked for service and waited 30 mins for a drink order after I went looking for a mgr to let her know we were sitting there. 3 waitresses were taking care of our surrounding tables but completely ignored us! I will not be going back there to say the least.

Our server was lovely. The interior was really interesting and nice. However, the food was not good at all. I had enchiladas, my son had tacos. Neither of us finished even 1/2 and didn’t ask for take away boxes. 🙁

One star for the poor service, can’t speak for the food because our pick up order was never put into the kitchen. They were packed, so I assume the food must be decent. Edit: we’ve given steel cactus two more goes now, and the food is good when it’s done right. Had some issues with uncooked rice and service still, items forgotten off plates, but also had a really good bistec taco. I’d go back, but it still seems like they’re trying to find their stride.

The waitress was nice. The food was terrible I ordered the vegetarian plate the poblano was still crunchy and raw and caked in raw uncooked flour the cheese was not melted either. The salsa also has a weird Italian flavor going on. The drinks were awesome but wouldn’t go back unless it was just for drinks. It was not super busy either so idk why the food was not up to par.

For the price and the portions you’re over paying. My entree tasted like an Italian dish not a Mexican dish. The atmosphere is nice but I would not recommend. The tacos were the smallest tacos I’ve ever seen, way over priced would not recommend.

Food was great. Service was absolutely horrible. I have been in the hospitality industry for over 20 years and the server we had needed trained a little better before taking orders and attempting to remember them with no check book or handheld p.o.s. system. Never asked for refills in drinks and after ordering a salsa and chips two times and never getting them I wrote it off as I was never getting them. After I seen the management taking over his tables I realized that at least the management seen the issues. So look past the horrible service and my mouth on fire with no refill it was not a bad experience. I would definitely give it a second try.

Service was excellent and so was the food. Our waitress was super friendly and attentive – the tofu on my salad had a delicious crispy coating and my margarita hit the spot. Loved the outdoor seating to enjoy the beautiful summer day. 10/10 will be back.
