    Our evening at Mexican Sugar was nothing short of fantastic! From the moment we arrived, the warmth and attentiveness of the staff made us feel truly special. Katie, the manager, was a gem—sweet, welcoming, and so helpful in securing us the perfect bar seats. Dining at the bar turned out to be an absolute delight, thanks to our server, Karen. She was not only accommodating of my endless questions and modifications but went above and beyond to make the experience fun and engaging. Her kindness radiates, and she has a natural ability to light up the room. Karen wasn’t just our server—she was the highlight of the night! We ended up staying for an extra round or two, simply because we didn’t want to leave the great company. Karen, thank you for your exceptional service and for turning a great meal into an unforgettable experience. Mexican Sugar is lucky to have you, and we can’t wait to return!
