   Parking will only validate 1.5 hrs even tough so many space on Friday night. I still paid extra $8 from 4-8pm. would be nice if it’s completely free. It’s not busy at all. We went for happy hour , food is good but margarita is bad. We didn’t finish ours. We order old fashioned from regular menu which is $25 , it’s good but on the high side.

   The food was made to perfection. The bar and dining room experience was very comfortable. The service was great with everyone we interacted.

   Its a great place. Super busy so worth booking. Bar area is nicer than the restaurant if you can get a table there

   The ambience and the service were great. The red beans were undercooked though. I look forward to that most at a Mexican restaurant.

   Everything was nice. Main courses were only OK. Churro desert was raw in middle.

   Food has changed from when they first opened… rice taste hard boiled, taco prices are for ONE small taco, says large but it’s not. Rice and beans are $4 to add…barbacoa is very fatty and could not eat. Don’t waste your time. Go to South of Nick’s.

    Underwhelming and over priced food. $70 before tip for a coffee, single taco, and a burrito.
