Attended a mid-afternoon lunch on mother’s day when the restaurant was nearly empty. Upon entering you were accosted by the annoyingly loud music, which made it difficult to hold a conversation. Once seated we realized we didn’t have enough chairs to accommodate our party and we asked for an an extra table. The manager had no problem, but the server, Anna rolled her eyes when we told her that we were waiting for 4 more guests. After taking our drink order, the remaining guests arrived and she neglected to offer them drinks or even acknowledged them. We had to constantly ask for refills. At the end of the meal they were definitely nice enough to split the checks for us, I’m aware this is not preferable. But she again neglected to offer coffee or dessert. When one Of the guests brought an error on the check to her attention she became argumentative, eventually huffing off to what we only assumed was to void it. The food was disappointing in that it lacked flavor and substance. The chimichurri fries were cold and soggy. Overall not a pleasant experience.

A little pricey for bland Mexican food. How can Mexican food be lacking in flavor? Restaurant is clean and staff is great. My advice, go buy some spices. Ever heard of salt? $10 for an ice cream scoop of guacamole is redic!

This place has very exquisite foods. I am vegetarian, and yet I was able to find a dish without meat. It was my first time here and I definitely rate it a 5/5! I'm for sure coming back soon!!

I have been to this place 4 times now total. The first 3 fantastic, not sure why or where it went wrong. I went there for lunch today and i ordered my food immediately upon sitting down because i knew what i wanted and had limited time. It took 25 minutes to get steak and shrimp fajitas. Needless to say it was scolding hot so I couldn't eat it for another 5-10 minutes after it arrived. They cut the steak pieces in chunks so you it was very difficult to chew and put in the tortillas. Oh and the waiter forgot to bring the tortillas initially and that took some more time just to find him and tell him. The meat was over cooked and oily. I was very upset and still am to spend $40 on lunch which i do not normally do and to have it be a disappointing experience is frustrating. I will not be going back. You can spend much less money and get way better Latin american food elsewhere!

Limited menu but great options. Ordered appetizers and wide variety of tacos. Loved how fresh and flavorful they were. Our server Isaiah was friendly and helpful. Place was busy on a Thursday night but not too loud. Could hear the music in the background. Great place to catch up with friends. Will be back.
