   La mesera Pati me trató como una reina, respondió mis dudas y me recomendó unos platos de comida que estaban espectaculares de presentación y sabor, el precio vale 100% la pena… regresaría muchas veces más !!

   Came all the way from out of town to celebrate my birthday with my friend and was expecting to have a wonderful time due to what was shown on their social media however my server Eric had other plans. From start to finish Eric rushed our entire service gave minimal advice when we asked for recommendations, got visibly annoyed when we pointed out he got a order wrong and kept trying to rush us out the door from our table. If it wasn’t for 2 other female staff ensuring we were well taking care of the night would’ve been completely ruined.

   Great overall. I made a reservation for my husband’s 40th birthday and we had a blast. Food, service and environment was a 10 out of 10. The music that they have playing and the Mariachi made this place an unforgettable experience.

   Great place for celebrations. They offer a fun an festive atmosphere (IG paradise), live mariachis & a resident DJ. Our party of 6 enjoyed our meals, although the mixed fajita dish was a bit overcooked and lacking of flavor/seasoning. Overall I would be back.

   Went here to celebrate my birthday. I almost always note or call (or both) to confirm not being sat in the back near bathrooms or back kitchen and to my surprise… I was sat in the back by the back kitchen. Told the manager she tried to find us a new spot which was unsuccessful because my party was not large enough. Second issue - Our waitress was polite! But I think there was a bit of a language barrier. Everything was extra. chips to go with the large amount of guacamole was extra. Salsa extra. for it to be more upscale I suppose that’s a part of what you pay for… but it started to feel outrageous. Drinks are pretty.. underwhelming aside from the presentation. Food was pretty good though which made the experience relatively decent. There was also a live band which we enjoyed but because of that coupled with the layout of the place, it can be a little noisy. Overall not a terrible experience, just needs a bit of improvements. Probably wouldn’t go back but good to experience once at least.

   My daughter found this place on TikTok while searching for a Birthday Dinner location and it did not disappoint. She enjoy the food the atmosphere all the photo opportunities and the staff was accommodating and energetic.

    Very fun, lively place. This is a great place for a celebration. The food was amazing as was the service and ambiance. The paloma was the only thing that could have been better.
