    My friends and I frequent this place often but this time we reserved a large party and was unfortunately disappointed.....we were practically told we had to leave due to a time frame of 90 minutes...for 11 people?....not reasonable and uncomfortable for my guests. We were not happy.

    We haven’t found a great Mexican restaurant in a long time! When we got there they were busy but our table was ready and in a great spot. Our waitress Kelly was very friendly and accommodating. The food was soooo good! Awesome experience and we will definitely be back!

    Haven’t been here this year so surprised that the quality of food has changed. We ordered steak nachos not a lot of steak or nachos. Paid $2 for guacamole that was so small. Also ordered chicken quesadillas they were good but they didn’t bring us any salsa or sour cream not even a knife to cut them.

    I looked onnthe website and it says they hold reservations for 90. I was coming from out of town so i call and ask if my reservation was still available and they tell me reservation are only goid for 15 minutes. Really? I explain to the person I’m speaking to on the phone that on the website it says reservations are held for one and a half hours(90) And just for the record on a note I put I might be a bit late. Terrible place terrible policies and most definitely terrible staff who do not even know the companies policy. Whole night ruined

    We had the very best waitress, so attentive to our needs and very thorough in explaining the menu. The food is so generously served, so fresh, and absolutely delicious.
