    Loud! If you want to drink and socialize with lots of people, this is probably a good place to go, but we found it hard to have conversations at our table. The food was alright, we went home full, and the cost was very good. I don’t think this was a bad place, just wasn’t for me.

    It was wine Wednesday half priced bottles, the server open the red wine then served it before letting us know it was cold due to being in the storage area. The red wine was not just a little chilled it was extremely cold, making the wine taste terrible and completely unenjoyable. The fact she down played how cold it was as well as opened it before letting us know without giving us the option to have changed our minds made the experience enough of a downer I wouldn’t go here again.

    Good Mexican food. Happy Hour isn’t as inexpensive as Happy Hour in other restaurants. Overall a good place to eat, not cheap and not overly expensive. Good quality food.

    Food taste/quality is ok, not great. Table side guacamole was very good. Service was good but didn’t clear plates between courses making table crowded.
