   We’ve come in a few times and had good experiences at the bar but decided to get a table tonight and definitely won’t be back. Our check had the name Jordan S on it and unfortunately, because of the terrible service we received, we won’t be getting a table here ever again. Long wait times for drinks when she clearly just didn’t ring them in, was dropping things at the table and giving rude service, and gave us the check 2 hours before close without giving us an option to order more, hang out longer, move to the bar, or even a last call. Also had to be told by other coworkers to check on us and messed up parts of our food order without attempting to fix it. While the vibe is cool and the bar staff is great, this one experience will be enough for us not to come back.

   Danielle was an excellent server. She remembered my wife and daughter from their last visit. Without asking, she brought a candled-dessert to celebrate her birthday.

   Our group of 6 loved all of the food. Our waitress was awesome and did a great job explaining the menu choices. It was beautifully decorated. We will definitely be back.

   Food was great, service was lacking, but I’ll go back to try it again.

   Beautiful space and atmosphere, but it felt like a Mexican restaurant sports bar. 6 huge tv’s flanking each other across 2 bars with sports on all of them and it over powers the beautiful atmosphere it could be for a nice restaurant. No Mexican feel. The website makes it seem like an elegant place and it is a just normal pretty sports bar. The food was indifferent, lack of authenticity and pricey for what it was. Two of the four taquitos came empty (no filling) and the empanadas were empty (no filling) and over fried. Tacos were good but over priced. It was more than NYC prices. The food needs some chef research as the flavors felt manufactured. The guacamole flight was tiny for the price and everything, I mean everything had way too many onions. Everything we tried all tasted the same. Flavor profile was way missing. The chips were stale as they were made early in the day. Drinks were good but many mistakes. The rims were wrong per the menu. And the waiter was deer in headlights when asked about it. Service was just ok and waiter was surly and inexperienced and we felt rushed like he wanted to turn the table. He didn’t know what was brought to the table, dropped off the food and walked away. We were left taste testing our food to see who’s was who’s as it all comes on the same plate. He had some comments that were not appreciated. Never offered to fix the food mistakes and we were charged in full for the restaurant mistakes. Overall, the place looks nice, but way too pricey for Mexican food that is just mediocre. Felt like it was their “soft opening” even though they opened in March. Maybe we’ll try it again one day in the future when they have more “food” experience.

   Great experience but the noise level was a bit too high. It was difficult to hear what anyone was saying at our table. The service was top notch though and the food and drinks were excellent.

   The concept is there but the food menu needs to be revamped. Choices are too limited. Even with a tapas theme tacos should not be a la carte. We ordered a side of beans that came in a tiny cup and seemed like they came right out of a can.

    Food was very good; a moderately priced limited menu. Acoustics were poor as we could barely engage in conversation with our two guests. Food service was poorly timed with appetizer arriving with entree. Time should help in working out the kinks.
