   Great Fun atmosphere! Beautiful decor. Good lack luster. Bar service very slow. 30 min for 3 mixed drinks and a glass of wine

   The food and drinks were quite good and the presentations, over the top. The menu is very pricy, but the portions are large and definitely sharable, which I think is nice in order to be able to try a few different things. The main downfall is that the volume of the music is entirely too loud. You can not communicate with the people at your table unless you are sitting on the side of them and can scream into their ear. Also, the obnoxiousness of the flashing lights, loud chanting, birthday song, and shots, shots, shots song is definitely obtrusive to the diners that are there for a date night, or just for some nice food and drinks. The Barbarcoa Short Rib is a must try! We will be back just for that ad to try some of their remarkably appealing desserts. For those first timers, be prepared, very prepared for the noise. The restaurant defiintely caters to a younger crowd, although my husband and I are both mid fourties.

   Was excited to try the place. The interior is well done and fhe music is loud so all and all the vibe is trendy. Service was decent but the food was terrible and I mean really bad. The queso was thick as mud and the tacos were basically just a protein put on a cold small tortilla. I can do that at home. It was three of us, we shared three tacos, some drinks and a queso and it was $200. Won't be back.

   Food was awesome. Drinks were great. Barria tacos are a must try. Music really loud but I guess that work for some guest.

   We went for our daughter’s 14th birthday with 6 of her friends. We all loved everything about the ambiance, the service, music/entertainment and the food was really good. The brisket tacos were a bit dry, but other than that, everyone enjoyed their meal. My only complaint is that I had specifically requested a table for my daughter & her friends separate from a table for me and my husband. Not only did I put in this request through open table, I also called to confirm this request a day earlier. When we got there, the staff was unaware of this request and had 7 girls waiting outside while I was looking for parking. I understand that a party can’t be seated till everyone is present, but based on my request for a table for the girls, the party was present. I dropped them off so we wouldn’t be late and went to look for parking. Had I known that they would make girls wait outside, I would have never dropped them off. I called the restaurant and requested they be seated. After 10 min the girls were seated and me and my husband had to wait for a table for us. Thankfully this didn’t take more than 15 min. After that we were all seated. The staff was doing their very best to fix the initial problem and we were very pleased with the way they handled it. We will definitely be going back. It was a very fun evening for all of us and my daughter had a wonderful bday celebration!!
