It was okay but loud and dark. They also kept trying to constantly clear our table while we were still very clearly eating from the plates. I came back from the bathroom and they had taken my napkin even though we still were eating. Was just a bit odd. Guacamole was really good though and husband liked his fish tacos but probably won’t return.

The entrees and service were great and the chips and salsa also tasty. I had the Carne Asada and my wife had the Branzino. We were both very happy with the food but the $12 sangria was mostly ice and the $12 flan for dessert was grossly overpriced. Because of these two things we probably won't be back as there is an abundance of Mexican eateries in the area.

It was very good experience… there were a couple of issues but over all ,good …. The only issues were , for some reason what I ordered didn’t come with everyone else’s order, so while everyone ate I just sat there until the waiter realized there was a mistake… the second issue was when we ordered margaritas frozen the first round came frozen and then the second round they said that ,”frozen wasn’t available no more”
