Our waiter Pablo was great last night. Pleasant attentive and was working hard handling multiple tables. Food and margaritas were excellent. Really enjoyed the guacamole! We will be back.

Had dinner and the food was wonderful. Had Ceviche and elite for apps and both were great. House marg was fantastic. Chicken bowl was great and the steak tacos were good. Had churros for dessert and they were outstanding! Staff was attentive and the manager/owner stopped by twice to make sure everything was good. Our waiter was fantastic and explained everything. We will be back!!

This restaurant has so much potential. It’s beautifully decorated. The food was decent. They need a real bartender. Maybe the bartender is off for the lunch hours but our server was also the hostess and our bartender. She admitted she didn’t know how to make drinks and she was barely attentive. I’d give it another shot at night maybe but one more chance is all they’ll get.

The music was way too loud. The Live DJ should have read the room better and played softer music so the three tables of people could enjoy their food and hear their guests sitting across from them. Instead it was loud beat of club music you’d hear on New Year’s Eve at midnight blasting throughout the restaurant. Geesh!
