   Read lots of good reviews. The restaurant is nice, but everything was very average. The Margarita was small and served in a plastic glass, while my husband's drink came in a real cocktail glass. The fajitas came out sizzling and were tasty, but nothing sepcial. The price is moderate. Not bad, not great, but reasonable and very close to the Beacon Theater where we were going to see a concert.

   This restaurant was adequate. Nothing memorable but not horrible. Service was decent but restaurant was mostly empty. Only real complaint was that there were no menus -- I thought we were done with QR codes as it brings back no so fond memories. Food was fine and prices were not bad. Would I come back? Probably not as there are better options in the neighborhood.

   It was pretty dead inside so that should have been our queue. The food was OK but the service was terrible; we weren’t sure if the waiter even knew he worked there.. Won’t be returning and do not recommend

   Wow what a great neighborhood gem!! Fantastic margaritas and sangria. Had delicious chips & guacamole. Built my own quesadilla with yummy barbacoa, black beans and cheese—sooo good! Also had shrimp and chorizo entree with rice and avocado which was scrumptious. Will definitely return! Thanks for a great meal!

   Got here at the perfect time. At first it was empty and I thought well I didn’t have to make a reservation then… shortly after the crowd came in. The drinks were okay… very sweet but you get what you pay for honestly. The food is alright but again for the price it is understandable. If you are on a budget this is a good spot to grab a drink and some tacos
