The food as always was exceptional. From the black chili crunch guacamole, chips and salsas, to the entrees ( shrimp plancha, tuna tacos and the bbq brisket tacos) and the churros for dessert. The drinks however were very disappointing. The margaritas should be much better in such an amazing restaurant. Better balance of tequila and mixers is an absolute must as well as better shaking/blending. Maybe keeping things simpler rather than trying to blend too many ingredients would be a good idea. If the drinks were improved the experience overall would be so much better. I would skip the drinks going forward otherwise and just enjoy a great meal.

My friend and I have dined here several times before and this was one of our most memorable and positive experiences. The waitstaff were excellent and the food was delicious. I ordered the vegetarian entree, which is always great! They were also extremely accommodating to us: we were running late to get to dinner, and we also had a show to get to at MPAC. They were super, and super fast. Thank you to everyone!
