    Good Mexican food. Happy Hour isn’t as inexpensive as Happy Hour in other restaurants. Overall a good place to eat, not cheap and not overly expensive. Good quality food.

    Food taste/quality is ok, not great. Table side guacamole was very good. Service was good but didn’t clear plates between courses making table crowded.

    Food was great. Poor service, water was never filled, one dish was forgotten and got ignored when needing the bill. Super disappointing after having a great experience at Anejo in Edmonton.
