I’m giving this restaurant 2 stars, primarily because my margarita was decent. The decor is charming, featuring vibrant Mexican-style elements that create a nice atmosphere, but unfortunately, the visual appeal is deceiving. To start, the salsa tasted like plain tomato sauce, which is definitely not what you want from a Mexican restaurant. Their hot sauce selection is limited to just Tabasco, with no classic options like Valentina or Cholula, making the street corn quite bland. Anticipating disappointment, I decided against ordering any of my Mexican favorites, knowing they likely wouldn’t live up to expectations. Sadly, I was right. I chose the snapper, but it was overcooked and served...

What a fantastic spot for food and drinks—stop searching and just come here! There’s plenty of seating inside, at the bar, and outdoors. They also have cornhole and some other games outside. The interior is nicely decorated with a fun, consistent theme. Weekday happy hour is a great bonus. The drinks are excellent; I can’t drink margaritas, but I highly recommend the mango mojito. The appetizers are generous and diverse—I suggest ordering a few, as you might even have leftovers. As for the entrees, the portions are huge across the board. Feel free to share or take some home. I could barely finish a quarter of my burrito! I’d definitely recommend the skirt steak with chimichurri sauce—it was...
First visit: This place is fun with tasty food and drinks. The margaritas were excellent. I’d definitely come back. Our server was busy but did a good job staying attentive. The hostess who seated us wasn’t very friendly, though. It was quite crowded inside on a Friday night. Outdoor seating was pretty empty, probably because it was a bit chilly. Second visit: They seemed understaffed. We arrived around 7 pm on a Friday; there were several open tables outside, but we had to wait about 30 minutes because they were overwhelmed. Once seated, everything went smoothly.
I'm giving this restaurant one star because I have no choice, but my experience was truly terrible. I was enjoying a wonderful time with my family until we were unexpectedly asked to leave. The manager approached us and told us we had to go without providing any valid explanation. To make matters worse, their behavior was disrespectful and racist. I will definitely not be returning.

The nachos were truly amazing, loaded with cheese, and the steak was fantastic! It really hit the spot for my cravings. The other dishes were excellent as well, though our server was just okay; we ended up interacting more with the busser than our server. We enjoyed sitting outside on a lovely evening, making for a delightful overall experience.
I’m giving one star only because I can’t give zero. The owner was yelling at customers and acting completely unprofessionally. It was unnecessary, especially since the place was nearly empty. I now understand why people avoid coming here.
The restaurant could use some upkeep, particularly in the bathrooms. The food was good and reasonably priced, while the service was outstanding. The best part of the experience was definitely the drinks and the music. Well done, DJ!
We have known this place for about seven years. Over the past year, they have had difficulty maintaining the establishment's cleanliness. While the drinks are still fine and the service remains good, the place requires a cleaning. Book a table now
Excellent steak fajitas, but chicken was lacking in the quesadilla appetizer. Drinks were mind expanding, and the price was reasonable. Had a great time , can't wait to go again !!!!
The food was amazing. The server was attentive and nice. Drinks were on point. Definitely be back again.
