    The food was absolute perfection. The fresh guacamole was phenomenal. The fish taco was so delicious it required ordering another one! We were seated early and the entire wait staff was welcoming and professional. They set the standard for authentic Mexican cuisine. Highly recommend!

    We went for the Valentine's Day menu. This was a prefixed option. The food was good however the service could improve. We sat for our reservation on time at 7 pm on the dot. It took about 15-20 minutes to get our order taken. Once we ordered we did not get our first course until almost 8 pm. This was a 4 course prefixed menu so I am unsure why it took the food so long to come out as they were only serving limited options that night and our first course was a salad! When asked, my salad was finally brought out however my husband's second course option was brought out instead of his first which should have been a salad as well. We continued to wait. Drinks were slow to arrive. My husband ended up being charged for a second drink he ordered that never came. Finally, the food was so slow to come out we asked for the remaining courses to be boxed up so we could leave. It was after 8:30 at this point. They said they could take care of it for us. Then 5-10 minutes later the entrees came out to the table plated. We then had to wait again to receive boxes and the desserts. We boxed our own food. At the time we had asked for everything to be boxed up we also asked for the check simultaneously. The check did not come. We had to wait again for that. Instead of them taking our card right away our server gave us the check and walked away so we had to wait yet again for him to come back so we could pay. Overall we were there over two hours and had we waited for the rest of the meal we probably would have been there close to three hours. On a busy night like that there should either be more staff or less reservations. There didn't seem like they had many people working. Overall had the service not been so slow it would have been enjoyable. The ambiance was nice and the food was great. I just wish that the service did not ruin the experience.
