    It was a Saturday night, had reservations. Place was full. The cocktails were sad. Could not even taste the vodka and tequila in a Martini & margarita gold. Overpriced. Server kept rushing us out. Took our chips and salsa away without even asking if we were done. We asked for the dessert menu, got it, then the waiter brought the check without even asking if we wanted dessert. Gelato was not great either, left it. Went to magos before, but will not return due to the poor service and drinks that were not good and overpriced.

    Service was incredible. Food quality well above what you get anywhere else. We had a diner there who had never eaten guacamole before for fear of texture and LOVED it! All the stars.
