We arrived earlier than our scheduled time of 9:30 only to be told the kitchen was closed. We had already waited and paid to park. Very dissatisfied. The reservation times need to be adjusted in this app so there is no confusion for any other guests.

I was there for a brunch with five other of my girlfriends. We had a great time. Our server was Caroline she was absolutely amazing. She was patient with us she wasn't rushing us. And at the end of the day I had placed a cash envelope with $700 on the table taking it out of my purse meaning to put it back in my purse and I forgot it. We had even left the restaurant and I had gone to the parking garage to get my car and as I was loading up the rest of my girlfriends she came running out and returned the money envelope to me! Caroline is not only an amazing server she's also an amazing person! There are still good people in this world!!!

heard really good reviews but my experience was decent, service was pretty slow we waited 30 minutes + just for server to come get the bill, carne asada fries & quesadilla was good, ceviche was okay & drinks were good also, overall probably wouldn’t come back but great aesthetic

If you will be dining, late night, please prepare to not having a full menu to chose from. We found this out after making our reservation and showing up to the place. Would have been good to have known this ahead of time. You will only have option of 3 choices of street tacos.

Staff were not familiar with the menu. No fajitas at a Mexican restaurant. Margarita was good but $18!! Club like fun environment which we liked but that’s not for everyone. Food just felt like it was a lower quality for example the shrimp were good sized but had a poor flavour texture. Chicken was dry and same for the beef. And the chips that came out were covered in oil and all broken up. So strange!!! See pic.
