    I normally love coming here. The food was fine. We never got our chips and salsa. Our server definitely had zero desire to be there but otherwise fine.

    We are frequent visitors, the food is always excellent, which is why we come, this particular visit the service was terrible. We saw the waitress once in about 30 mins. Brought drinks and then took our order and disappeared. Never saw chips at our table, or follow up visits from our waitress. A truly disappointing experience, especially when we are sips used to better from this restaurant, until this point, one of our personal favorites.

    Reservations were easy. Barbacoa tacos were delicious. Sides also. Never received chips and salsa. Service below par. Never came back to check in on refills. Would still return.

    Specialty margarita with passion fruit purée was divine. As was the spicy margarita. Fish and shrimp tacos were excellent. Table side guacamole is so worth it and the tortilla chips were warm! Mexican donuts and chocolate cake were warm and decadently delicious.

    Have dine here several times. Reservations are useless you still need to wait. Also, I notice manager running back and forth and arguing with employees. The front hosts state one thing and the bar maids state another. Definitely need organization.

    Selling tacos with no salsa except for an up charge just doesn’t sound right for a “Mexican” restaurant. I understand up charging if you want additional salsa or order an item that usually doesn’t come with salsa. But who sells tacos with no salsa included?!?!

    We arrived early and wished to have a cocktail at the bar before being seated for dinner. We checked in so the host knew we had arrived. When space became available at the bar, the newly emptied space was cleaned very well and quickly! The bar has a great selection of tequila. The bar staff is very nice. We were seated for dinner on time. The menu is traditional Mexican, with some options having a twist. We enjoyed the food. It is fun to have guacamole made table side. Defienetly a nice place to have a good Mexican meal in a comfortable setting.
