    Fish tacos were very good. Chicken enchiladas were also quite good. Drinks are tasty and service is very good. Chips are salsas are available but they do have a price tag. We like the chips and ordered a hot and a mild salsa. Both were good. We were surprised that there were few patrons here on a Monday evening. This is not your average Mexican fare.....it is upscale with unusual flavors. Do recommend it.

    The food was mediocre at best and it took us over an hour to get our food. It was also way overpriced for what we received.

    Helped as soon as we came in which was nice. The services was a little slow at the table, it was busy but not that busy. Food was fair, my enchiladas were very tasty but not hot really just lukewarm warm at best. Tacos were ok but pretty expensive for what you got. Chips and salsa were the best! Wanted it to be amazing. Kind of a bummer.

    While we were dining, two families with unruly kids were running and screaming all over the restaurant. Hence the noise. The manager should have addressed this problem.

    The worst tasting Mexican food - all 9 of us agreed. The guacamole had no flavor except onion. We tried fajitas, quesadillas, tacos, etc. All were well below average. Do not recommend.

    very good food. service slow and not great. enjoyed the food but service was understaffed and took a long time to get served. once food was ordered took quite a bit to get food and no one returned to table to refill drinks, etc. after a long wait we ordered dessert then an even longer wait to get food. long wait to pay bill. seemed like a struggling restaurant that has great potential. will return in future.
