Always busy. Always prompt service with good food. The potion sizes are quite large, enough for 2 meals for me. I get a dish with grilled chicken and shrimp and there is so much chicken and shrimp plus rice and salad. So good.

Absolutely love this restaurant. They have updated the menus with a lot more pictures of the food. I’m a person to find 1 or 2 things I like and stick to it but now I’ve been trying more things on the menu due to the pictures grabbing my attention. Also a new twist on margaritas. They have so many flavors and if you have a bigger group they have a margarita tower which is awesome. It served a table of 5 of us and we all had 2 refills out of it. They also have added a bar downstairs which is nice and more secluded

Horrible service. I’ll allow for some time because it was busy. But, we literally sat for 15/20; minutes before service. A different server came back to our table to reconfirm one of our orders. Food took forever, and was bland, and overcooked. Usually service can make up for mediocre food, but not in this case. Have been here previously and the food was great, with excellent service. However this time, it was a huge swing and a miss.

First time there and won’t be back. The salsa and cheese came out in plastic containers no salt and pepper on the tables. I’m assuming they were trying to close early before we got there at 9 PM. The food came out less than room temperature. The taco meat was basically cold. The service was also subpar. I hardly ever leave reviews, but felt like I needed to after this experience.

Came with a group, food was really good, bartender was nice, small, laid back, music wasn’t blaring. The female manager was rude otherwise I would rate it a 5, super bummed she ruined our time.

We arrived at about 9 PM last night, and probably a little bit before. The restaurant door said it closed at 10pm. When we walked in, the floor at the entrance was covered with water and bleach, and a worker was cleaning the floor all over at the main entrance. Not good. Dangerous walking. We sat at our table a good 15 minutes with no one waiting on us whatsoever. There were no condiments, no salt and pepper no nothing at the table and then we were served salsa in a plastic tub. Taco meat was cold. The service was subpar, and the food was subpar. It seemed like they were closed but yet they were open. I think it would be a better idea to actually close or inform customers that we are closing and not serving anymore rather than offer the customers, this extremely poor, subpar service.

Service here for me is alway quick. I’ve been coming here for several years now. I’m always seated right away and never had to wait a super long time. Refills on chips and salsa? Right on it!
