    We had to flag down a server after 20 minutes of being sat just to get water. And it continued to be terrible service the entire time. Food was mediocre at best. I’ve had better service at other locations, definitely won’t return to this one.

    Our service was great and the salsa was wonderful however, the food wasn’t really hot although it came out quite quickly. It also lacked flavor and seasoning. Definitely won’t be returning. The live music was nice though.

    Service was very good.. Attentive server and quick response even thought restaurant was extremely busy. Noise levels were so loud we could not hear each other across the table. Food was terribly bland. Not much flavor. Food was cold.
