    Margaritas and ceviches are so good. We also ordered mole for my husband and he really liked it. We sat in a booth and were able to watch the sunset. It was beautiful and overall great experience. I want to suggest to clean the chairs too not just the tables. Other than that it was great as always.

    The management totally overbooked the restaurant and we were 20 minutes after scheduled reservation. They then tried to seat 6 people at a table of 4. I asked to be moved and they moved us to a corner and again figured out a way to seat 6 people where 5 people fit. Manager did not care about the issue nor offered a solution.

    If you order enchiladas it is one piece and for a very high price, they should serve a minimum portion of 3 as in all good Mexican restaurants.

    This is the first time I’m coming back after they’re renovating the restaurant. The food still tasted okay and the inside looks nicer than before. The service always good and except the valet kind a horrible.

    The hostess Jessica made for a poor experience to begin with. She was extremely condescending and rude. Even though we had a reservation, she refused to sit us because we were a party of 2 and ‘it was close to dinner time.’ I’ve never experienced such poor customer service here. The manager did intervene, thank goodness. Our waiter was great. Food was great. We will return because the location and food are amazing. But please take the time to coach your hostesses to ensure the patron’s experience is enjoyable from the beginning.
