   Food menu was barely any, not many options. Service tried to over charge us. Had to ask for a print out because the charges were incorrect. Drinks were cool. Guacamole was good small portion however. Not the typical Mexican restaurant.

   Went during happy hour! Great prices, drinks, food and music!! It’s so cute, loved the decor. The hostess that greeted us was a little rude and had an attitude on her but other than that the service was great.

   Unfortunately, our experience here was really disappointing. Our waitress was rude from the start — barely acknowledged us, wasn’t friendly, and hardly checked on our table the entire time. When I ordered, I specifically asked for no cilantro or onion, and my food came loaded with both. It was hard to enjoy because the flavors were totally overpowered by cilantro, and overall the dish was just mediocre. On top of that, the chips were stale and the drink we received wasn’t even what we ordered. We were hoping for a good experience, but between the service and the food, it just wasn’t worth it.

    1st time the food was great 10/10 , came back a second time and food did not taste the same . The quality of the guacamole was horrible and the drinks are filled with so much ice , the amount of liquor is a shot
