    The service and food was outstanding. If your lunch or dinner is a business meeting, you should request a table in the north side of the restaurant (away from the bar and front door). The tables close to the kitchen can become quite noisy. I made a mistake in my ordering and I admitted the mistake and told the waitress that I would take it to go and for her to put in another order with no dressing on my taco salad. Very quickly a new taco salad came out without dressing and she said the restaurant would not be charging me for the first salad. I was pleasantly surprised by their gesture. My water glass and ice tea were never empty and the restaurant is very clean. The value for the food is very good. The portions are very good. JCalhoun

    Enjoyed everything. The food was great, maybe a little too spicy, but great. The spicy Mango drink was good, along with the Texican Candy Had the FAJITAS FAMOSAS. And tortilla soup Live music on the patio and music over the speakers was a little too much, and it was hard to carry a conversation. Overall, definitely returning

    Great place to eat, the food was wonderful. It did take a while for the server to stop by the table at first, but was very attentive after that. It was very loud, but with hard surfaces all around it would be hard to be more quiet. .
