   We had a lovely time and the food was delicious. The service was also great. We will definitely be back, but will probably ask not to be seated near the restrooms, especially since we walked by a dozen empty tables.

   Great food. Bowls were awesome. Margaritas were the best I’ve had.

   Very friendly when I checked in. Seated quickly at a booth which I requested. Then it went south. Waited over 10 minutes for someone to wait on us. Finally I asked the hostess if she told anyone that she seated us. Then a waiter came and asked if we had been helped. I said no so he took our order. Then the hostess grabbed the waiter and came over to apologize. Then a waitress working our section asked if we had been helped. The waiter was very attentive at first then kinda disappeared here and there. They ran out of iced tea. On a Saturday night dinner service??? My partner doesn’t drink soda so he asked for water. The water wasn’t good so he just stopped eating and packed up his food to go since he’s have nothing to drink with it. It may sound picky but he only drinks unsweetened ice tea at restaurants. And we know tap water can be gross. How do you run out though? Just make more. Tacos were smaller than previous visits. Amount of queso with the chips was skimpy. Chips had barely any lime seasoning. We ordered the dessert special but they were out of it. That should have been told at the beginning of service or when he asked us what we wanted. Previous visits have been great. Last night was very disappointing. Probably will be a while before I return.

   I would give 5 stars but music too loud and my margarita seemed on weak side. Tacos were large and delicious. Our friends like their enchiladas and burrito. Service was great and we weren’t rushed. Wish there was one in south jersey

   Our waiter Devin was absolutely amazing!! We were a family of 13 guests and he took outstanding care of us. Everyone was happy. Food was delicious. Drinks were tasty. I recommend the margarita flight for $20. Everything came out correct, hot & fresh. We will definitely be back. Thank you Devin!!!
