    Once again the bathrooms were broken. By 8:15pm they had to stop taking orders. We had a party of 12 there. Figure out the bathroom situation this happens way too often.

    Luis is the BEST bartender there is. I get excited when I see him behind the bar whenever I decide to swing by on Taco Tuesdays. My usual go to is an Old Fashioned. This time he convinced me to try his Pineapple Margarita — once again he did not miss!

    We went into this reservation knowing it was restaurant week and tried to be forgiving. We started receiving the food before our drinks arrived. We were missing an appetizer that we never received even after telling the server about it. Most of the food besides the empanadas were room temperature. Refills on drinks took 15-20 minutes. Party of 5 and all of us said we wouldn't return.
