    My reservation was for 7pm on Sunday,waited for a table to be ready then waited 40 mins and never got offered water or any waiters to ask us for anything at all We walked out and went somewhere else because the service was absolutely embarrassing I even had asked for an early day from work to make this 7pm work and yet had to settle for something quick elsewhere due to the waiting we had to do (we were limited on time)

    Food was excellent! Our original server never even greeted us, luckily Ely saved the day. She saw that we had been waiting for quite some time and came to our rescue. She was an amazing server and made the rest of our evening a good experience. Thank you Ely!

    We've been there quite a few times and never had a problem. The guacamole was very little and didn't even come half way up the bowl. I've had about the same in a half order, and it was salty. Then came the fish taco's and all 6 were very mushy and not crunchy like they should be. The manager was very kind to take them off the bill, but overall we don't think we'll be back.

    Overall a good experience for lunch near my work place. Our server was super nice and the place is lively and has a fun vibe. The food was good but a bit pricey, I had 2 tacos $10-12 each.
