   We were hopeful from the reviews, but found then food undercooked, over-priced, and underwhelming. Each of us had a different kind of enchilada… none of us liked them. Drinks were tasty, however.

   Enjoyed the meals. We will come back. Loved my salmon dish. My husband felt the steak tacos were a little hard.

   I went for lunch at 1 pm and there was a very limited “brunch” menu.

    Despite not being exceedingly busy, service was slow. After ordering, a wrong meal was still delivered and we never received one item we ordered. The margaritas were good but $18 is excessive.
