    The Taco Combination was Horrible. Tasteless insides and soggy outside. Chicken and Carne Asada tasted the same and like nothing, had texture but no flavor, even with toppings. The Beans and white rice were very good. This is surprising as the dinners have been good, this was a big disappointment. Service fair considering there was only one other table being served when we got there.

    Our son was at a birthday party at the restaurant next door so my wife and I popped in for dinner. Table service was spotty as we our waitress seemed to disappear a few times for prolonged spans. Food was above-average and a good value. Ambiance was spot-on for the theme of the restaurant. Would definitely go back.

    This was our first visit and we will be back. I had the Mixto and she had Crispy Barbacoa Tacos. Our food was delicious. A highlight was our server, Juan, who made menu suggestions and made sure we had everything we needed for a wonderful dining experience.

    Bar service excellent, their tortilla soup & tableside guacamole are favorites. Live music some nights. Only negatives: 3 staff people walked past before I was acknowledged at the door, and later on I had to submit my receipt to OT because restaurant canceled my rez while I was there dining

    our first time here! we came based on the great reviews and were not pleased with the experience. our server came around twice, a manager had to bring us our drinks and without even asking if we wanted another round or anything else, we were brought our check by a different waitress.

    I was hoping a holiday menu was error proof. Food was cold and bland but the drinks and apps were good. The food selection didn’t impress and I’m a foodie.
