    Overall everything was good the only thing that kinda sucked was the fact we got sat a cocktail style table right by a fountain where my phone almost fell to because there was no room on the table

    We had a terrible experience here. Our waitress seemed annoyed we were there and gave us terrible service. Unfortunately we don’t know her name because she didn’t tell us. Overpriced for mediocre tacos. We won’t be going back.

    We had two hours to eat, which should have been more than enough time. Our waitress came to our table very infrequently however which made the two hours a problem. Trying to get the last of the happy hour drinks didn't happen. I got there at 620 she didn't come over until 647. Fine. Last of our table came at 7( got hung up at work) didn't get service until 718. Ordered dip trio to start. Said that but she didn't come back until later 745 for taco order. Food came fast but at 8 ( with empty tables around us mind you) the host came to remind us we had two hours and the table needed to be cleared in 10 mins. Trying to get a box took another 12 minutes and we had ordered Marg's that were barely drained. The host came one last time to get us up as I was packing the food up after receiving the box. If you have an attentive person two hours is more than enough time. However in this circumstance, it was a nightmare and a half.

    I booked a reservation for my dad who flew into town two weeks ago. When I arrived they said they manager out it for a 2 top- And told us we needed to sit outside with three kids and made us wait another 30 minutes. Then they said we could sit inside but we had to give up our table in an hour and a half for another ressie.

    The margaritas were very good. I had the prickly pear flavor and it still tasted like a regular margarita, could not tell the difference between the two. The tacos lacked flavor. I got the barbacoa and the carnitas tacos. I had to put lots of salsa just to add flavor to both. The salsa seemed to be from a plastic bottle and not freshly made. For the price of the food, I thought I’d get better. I would drink here again but go somewhere else to eat.
