Overall I would say it’s overpriced for what it is. Our food was fine, but not hot enough…

Not happy with Javier’s decision to not include rice and beans with some of your enchilada meals. $42 plate of enchiladas that does not include rice and beans is ridiculous. Add rice and beans is another $12. ITS RICE AND BEANS! How cheap is that to make? First time ever as we are leaving around 7pm on a Saturday, we see empty tables and not many people waiting. Not surprised. People are catching on from what I’ve been reading. It’s a shame because the food and service are good. Not coming back.

Our server was very friendly and did an awesome job. The weird part of our experience was that someone had the same name, number of guests, and reservation time as us so there was some confusion. It was our table but someone from the other party almost took our table. Luckily our whole party was there and not the other group.

The servers were great and attentive throughout the night. I enjoyed that we were able to get a private room for a large party. However the hostess in the front was rude multiple times despite us just asking questions. The manager was friendly and was able to seat us quickly after our party arrived. Food was ok however for the pricing you’d expect more exquisite tastes.
