After a bit of a wait, our server finally made it to our table after finishing a delivery. He took our drink orders and promptly delivered five out of the six drinks we requested. Unfortunately, he forgot the sixth drink, which didn’t arrive until after our food was served, and throughout the evening, there was a noticeable lack of urgency. As our happy hour progressed, I noticed a couple walked in, and it became apparent that the restaurant was staffed by just a food prep person, a cook, and our waiter. To make matters more challenging, it seemed that our server was also training the other staff member, which made me sympathize with him. Regarding the drinks, the margaritas left something...

I'm giving this restaurant a generous 3-star rating mainly because the chicken flautas are fantastic. However, I was disappointed with the pork tacos—$31 for just four. While the pork was well-cooked, the sauce tasted like something you'd find in an MRE, which didn't sit well with me. I had a bit of an upset stomach before we even left, and I couldn’t even bring myself to take my leftover taco home. The rice wasn’t worth mentioning, and the beans were only slightly less disappointing. On the positive side, the service was kind and attentive, even though it was quite busy since it was Cinco de Mayo. As for drinks, I’m no cocktail expert, but the mojito we ordered was quite poor. We didn’t g...
It's just okay, nothing memorable. The salsa tasted like chipotle; they should at least offer a traditional one for free. They wouldn’t allow me to add shrimp to the traditional fajita combo, but they offered to make a different Caribbean dish that was similar, though with fewer fajita toppings. Unfortunately, the seasoning overwhelmed the shrimp, and I didn’t even finish them. I found the peppers and onions to be undercooked; I’m not a fan of crunchy fajita vegetables. The guacamole was average. However, they did have a shrimp appetizer that was quite good, which is the only thing keeping them from getting a two-star rating.
Delicious food! The signature drink was fantastic. Our bartender and server, TJ, was friendly, attentive, and did an excellent job. I enjoyed the atmosphere. I'm looking forward to returning in the summer to sit up top and enjoy the view! Book a table now
I took my girlfriend here and didn't realize it was Fish Taco Friday! We got a few raffle tickets by ordering off the Fish Taco Friday menu! We ended up winning a brand new snowboard! We had so much fun! We are definitely coming back!
The service was friendly and welcoming. The food was so-so. Guacamole, chips and a soup special were good, our entrees not so much. Huge portions. None of us finished our entrees. It was okay and convenient.
We went there for lunch and had a wonderful experience. The food was outstanding. We ordered the nachos, and they were absolutely delicious—plenty to share among 2 or 3 people!
The service was excellent, but the food was extremely disappointing. It lacked any flavor and was overly greasy. The only highlight of the meal was the chips and salsa. Book a table now
The street tacos were fantastic, and the hot sauce was just right! I highly recommend both the food and the drinks.
Great burger. Salsa and most mex dishes very mild (too mild for my taste). Generous portions. Family friendly.

"I really love this place!! Amazing coffee, delicious food and great desserts pastries. They are open until 23:00, so it is a really good place for evening work or study. The only drawback that has happened in several visits is to prepare food for a long time."
