One of the best Mexican restaurant we visited, the decor is like if you were in the country of Mexico, at least thatâ€ℒs how we felt. The food, atmosphere and the drinks were excellent. I advice you to visit this place with friends or family. Plus they have live music a few times a week. They have free parking and try to go during the week to get seated right away, the weekends are pretty busy.

Terrible experience. Waitress was rude and disrespectful. Iâ€ℒm so upset I went to this place. Three tables were served before my table, yet we got there 15 minutes before all other tables ! The waitress was so mean because I asked her why our order was taking so long (over 35 minutes). The manager was very nice and helpful, yet the entire time the waitress made me very uncomfortable. I will absolutely not return to the Garfield location.

We have ordered from this place for the past couple years and the quality of the food has changed and not for the better. We have always ordered the shrimp burrito because of dietary restrictions around meat. Today they gave us the shrimp burrito mixed in with pork and the re-fried beans were almost non-existent. We called the place to get another burrito sent to us but they would not expedite the order and told us to wait 45 minutes to an hour. They completely refused to push the order through even though they are the ones that messed up. Now we have 3 people with food and one person who cant eat. If we wait then we have 3 cold entrees and 1 fresh one. Such a disappointment. Will never order again.

This is one of the coolest places I've ever been! Packed full with life not to mention good food. I highly recommend getting the guac!

Although waiting over an hour and a half to be seated, I have to say the food was excellent. BUT, sitting there with friends and enjoying the food and drinks it was worth the wait. HOWEVER, I will not give this restaurant a 5 star rating for the simple fact that we were given our bill without requesting it. When we looked at each other the waitress simply said and I quote. " its busy and we need the table "?? We were ordering drinks, food, more drinks, and our intentions were to remain there for the live entertainment and continue ordering more food and drinks? The manager nor waitress never so much as offered us seats at the bar. I've never been so appalled. And I made my complaint about this on social media , FB. And the manager replied that there are a lot of people waiting and how would I feel if I was waiting on the other end? Which I did!! And hour and a half.... And wait, the best. He used emojis within his reply. Very mature response and way to handle a complaint. No matter how good the food. I will not give my money to a business with such poor and lack of courtesy to a customer. So much so that everyone that has asked me about this place, I've let them know DO NOT GO, and furnished reason. Still can't believe how rude and lack of respect this place displayed.
