Good range of menu options. Shared tacos as entrée and each participant selected an different main. The food was tasty, warm and delivered in a good timeframe. We didn't try the margaritas as we were driving but there is a wide variety. Total meal costs weren't too bad. $140 for three people. 3 entrees, three mains and drinks. very reasonable. The waitress was friendly, helpful and aided in making the experience enjoyable. We were seated inside. The background music was a little distracting but not too loud to stop conversation. Outside seating options are also available. Overall, we ate well and enjoyed our visit. well worth the effort.

This was for my birthday and I mentioned that in the booking. I asked for a table inside but we were given a table with bar stools in the bar area - on the way out I realised there were more suitable areas. The nachos were the worst I'd ever eaten, dry, mainly corn chips which were packed so tight it was difficult to eat. I ended up not eating it. The best thing were the chips. Could have gone to a different Mexican eatery nearby so I was pretty disappointed.

The inside restaurant is extremely small so wasn’t expecting that. It may be nicer when the weather is warmer as there is more seating outside. The food was pretty good. Nachos and tacos were probably the best thing. Felt like we were being rushed out of there as they kept hovering and clearing our plates before we swallowed our food lol and there wasn’t other bookings. Think they wanted to close early as it was a cold rainy night. Will try again when weather is better
