The food is basically not Tex Mex or Mexican. Salsa tasted like canned tomato purée. The refied beans were horrible - really strange color, texture and zero flavor. The chicken quesadillas were ok, but nothing I would recommend. Nothing but tortilla, chicken and cheese. No vegetables. Also they don't have any hot sauce in house so you can't even make the bland good a little better. Will never go back. Our server was excellent though and very honest about the food.

Severely under staffed and slow. Got our order wrong. Manager gave me receipt without itemized copy. Didn’t mention auto gratuity was added. Last server was great and hustling but had no real suppprt

There were not many people there so we had great, attentive service. The margaritas were excellent and well done. The food was very good, everybody in our party was happy. The service was everything we could’ve asked for. It was very empty at that time so I’m sure that helped.

We visited the restaurant for our 7 pm reservation at 6:45 and was turned away and told that they could not seat us and they were not servicing anyone right now. I told them I made our reservation over a month ago and the man was was rude and had an attitude when speaking to me. Never said he was sorry or apologized but said “everyone wants to eat here but you can walk 5 minutes down the street to go eat”. If we wanted to go to whatever that place was we would have made a reservation there but we did not. We should have been called or emailed about our reservation to at least let us know they were going to cancel us so we could make other plans - just common courtesy. We will never come back to this restaurant. HORRIBLE customer service and very rude and not apologetic. We will also make sure everyone we know that stays downtown near this restaurant will not go to this establishment.

When we arrived we were told that they were not taking reservatiins, when we actually had one. There are no waitress. We had to order at the bar and pay and then be seated We ordered guacamole and they did not bring chips Very bad service or no service at all! Food was ok, it could be better too
