It was OK. They gave me a not even half a bowl of salsa for myself and 3 kiddos lol. Food was decent. The blue margarita was nothing special. But service was good.

This is the second time we ate here. Food was decent but a little over priced. I went to write a review due to the server being extremely unfriendly and acted like we were inconveniencing her. After reading the reviews of roaches and a dog on the table I am more than ok with eating somewhere else. I do not want to eat where employees are ok with unsanitary conditions and it appears I’m not the only one who had rude service. Doesn’t seem they want to correct these issues as it’s been going on a long time according to reviews. If you want business improve the cleanliness and customer service!

We came to eat here only because chaloulas was closed the day . I was very unpleased with them I have a task trained service dog for mobility and first thing when I walked into the door I was immediately asked for an id card which is illegal to ask for I was not asked the 2 legal questions instead . The server then proceeded to sit us way back in the back of the restaurant where we were forgotten about for 10+ minutes before we even got a drink order taken . he only remembered us because he walked past and was like oh yea there’s people there . Was absolutely ridiculous we won’t be back that’s for sure . Chaloulas has absolutely never treated us this way .

I only had a cocktail and chips, yet it was a pleasant experience. The chips were warm, the salsa was spicy still leaving the delicious tomato flavor. As for the cocktail, well I’m no amateur at enjoying a margarita, but the large was too much to finish. However, the booths were small and thin I could feel every move my neighbor made, and our table had a tendency to slip and slide with the lightest touch. (Not safe after that large of a margarita) All in all good time for a good price.
