Remembering this is on the wrong border and TexMex (both of which I judge hard). It scratched a San Diego guy’s itch.

The atmosphere and service were great. The food was terrible. The chips and salsa were a plate of corn Doritos with a dollop of mediocre salsa that tasted straight from the bottle. The nachos were the same but with some bland shredded chicken, sour cream, black beans and white/green melted cheese. Tacos were equally unimpressive. Again, the service and view were great. The rest was a waste of money.

The food here is fantastic! I had the brisket Smacker and omg it was so delicious! The apple bourbon BBQ sauce puts it over the top. Burritos and Nacho platter were excellent as well.

Nice atmosphere and great view. They charged 2.50 for sour cream. Twice. Salsa was another 2.50. They didn’t tell us we were being charged for extra chips. The tacos were gross. My husband thought they were actually the worst tacos he’s ever had.

Just skip it. Slow service- actually had to flag down waitresses for drinks and then food. Watched other food come out before ours. Got our chips and salsa with our meals and the “queso” was just plain melted cheese. Chips were straight out of a bag. Meals were just ok. Plain and nothing fancy. Waste of time waiting for what we got. Maybe good if you want a few drinks, but do yourself a favor and eat elsewhere.

Nice view of the dock at the water from the upstairs deck. We had nachos because we need to eat gluten-free and there wasn’t a lot of choice, but the nachos were tasty with generous toppings.

I got a lot more than I expected here. Great food portions. Servers were great. And the view is really nice. Went back a couple times. Worth a visit.

Excellent customer service by the young man with black hair. He did everything on his tablet faster than I see most servers use pen and paper! The food came out fast and delicious! We all got something different from tacos to bowls to burritos and it was all very good! The beer is actually reasonably priced here too The restaurant sits on a rooftop over looking the bay and has shaded seating its a wonderful spot to bring tourists!
