    My experience was on a Saturday and you will have a GREAT time. The server was very super nice and very friendly. I don’t remember the young man’s name. However, I do have a picture with him. Thank you!

    Reserved for my best friends birthday! We had a good time. The only thing is when someone from our group was choking on the spiceyness. We asked for a cup of water 3 times and they would only bring water bottles (which they charge for) so I asked don’t you guys just have cups of water. The waiter literally had to think about it and was like hmmm ok. But he never came around to give us the cups of water (that are free of charge). Until we pulled a random waiter and asked for CUPs of water and he gladly brought us all some. I get it, they are upselling. But to the point that we had to ask 3 times for just cups of water! Food absolutely made it for it, it was very good! It was brought out within minutes of ordering. You couldn’t even taste that it was preheated/cooked.

    It was decent ! Our server was Eduardo he was great! Very nice and attentive!!! The food was decent, not as good as King and Queens, but decent…. - I had their “famous” cocktail- it was delicious, but not made the way the menu described. I’m not sure what was in it! It was supposed to be tequila and coffee liquor! Also no shaker provided as the menu stated.

    Many of our dishes were incorrect because "the kitchen just got a new menu", and to order water was $2 per bottle, no free water to drink. The carne asada was poor quality meat that appeared to be boiled or overcooked, without seasoning. For the costs of the dishes, better quality was expected.
