We came early for Happy Hour (specifically frozen margaritas) and were disappointed to find out that the machine for frozen drinks was not working. While the food was good the drink menu for happy hour was a bust!

Everything was very bad. From the moment you arrive you find a person with a bad attitude. Even though there weren't many people in the place, they took a long time to bring the food and it was really bad, nothing we ordered was good. The service was terrible, I had the plates with the leftovers collected on my table and I tried to ask the waiters who passed by if they could take them away and it seemed like they didn't care, 10 minutes to bring some napkins that we asked for. When we decided to leave, it took 15 minutes to bring the bill. I will never return to this place, in the area there are other places that you definitely have to visit before this restaurant. I do not recommend it to anyone!

Service was terrible. The server was too busy talking to his co workers then to check on us. We waited about 30 minuets for the check and he “couldn’t” split our checks which I find hard to believe.

Service was poor. The waitress laughed when a person asked for a burrito. She simple said no and said, “what is a burrito?” Music was fine but half way through dinner they turned it way up to attract customers from the sidewalk and no one at our table hear anything anymore. As a chain, this place is typically good and consistent. This location may be the exception.

Food was great, kitchen and services not so much. There were only 2 big tables with parties and scattered customers - i counted 40 customers total, but that overloaded all (two) waiters and kitchen I ordered tacos (4) - pastor and carne and it took 30min to get it. I ordered more and after 40min, the waiter came back with some random tacos including shrimp (i cannot even get close to seafood. Result: $90+ for 4 tacos, 1 quesadilla, 1 coke and 1 glass of wine. Got back home hungry and disappointed. If a party clogs the restaurant, they should not accept reservations when there is one. Food was ok but will never comeback.
