    When did it become typical for a Mexican restaurant to charge for chips and salsa? Won't be back. Food was average at best, prices were very high for the quality.

    This was our 3rd visit. (Obviously we love it) We always request Anna as our waitress, she is excellent, especially with food allergies. Thursday nights with the mariachis makes a great time. The ambiance is great and food has always been great. Unfortunately, something made me very sick last night. I barely made it home and everything I ate came up. As we were eating I mentioned the raw oysters being off temperature and a little “creamy” like. I have a feeling that is what made me sick. Other than that, everything was perfect. We will be back but maybe not for oysters.

    Went on a Wednesday for dinner. There was a trio playing life music. Our server, Daniel, was knowledgeable, fun and kind . He made our experience better. The food was authentic and delicious. The drinks were creative and fun. You cannot miss the desserts.

    Its a great restaurant, the server was sweet but didn’t see her after she served our food. Food was 8.5/10 . Mariachi was great just a bit too loud than i expected. Overall I would come here again minus the mariachi.
