Food was mediocre. The chicken fajitas were actually quite good - very tender, and a very sizeable portion. The veggie fajitas were pretty tasteless. The guacamole was a total waste of money - no flavor, except bitter. Service was totally indifferent and rather slow. The noise level in the main dining room was outrageously loud, so we sat all by ourselves inside with no view. And it was not cheap, which makes it a poor value.

I feel adding more breakfast items to your Sunday brunch would help boost business. Only offering one breakfast item doesn’t make much sense to me.

The food was cold and the rice tasted like carrots. The tamale had a weird tomato taste to it that was not pleasant.

Not sure why this place has so many good reviews. The service was super slow and they barely came around to refill the "champagne". Food was mediocre. Tasteless and bland. I would have much rather gone to Ang of the other restaurants in old town and it would have cheaper and more fun. The view was the only nice thing about this place.

The view is really nice. The meal was inexpensive. The food was meh. We tried everything at the buffet, but for one reason or another didn't est much of it. The cookies were burnt, the fruit had flies, the beans were chalky, the enchiladas were cold. The chicken was hard,. The kids mostly ate tostada shells and dried out brownies. The staff was super friendly.
