    Its our favorite Mexican restaurant by far. Great drinks, atmosphere, service, and food. We drive almost an hour to go there every 2-3 months.

    Food was excellent, and the service was very good. The noise level in the restaurant was very loud and hard to understand the server at times. The print on the menu was way too small and difficult to read, and the bathroom was very messy.

    Horrible service but front staff. Asked for seat outside. Said no because fully booked. Sat us near bar. After 2 hours the seats outside still not seated as we walked by. Could have easily sat us in several open spots but did not.
