   It is not a place to have a casual dinner and conversation. I take it as a place to party. The birthday celebration is really loud and fun, however the overall atmosphere is very loud with music. We could barely hear the servers and carry a conversation. The service is outstanding from the host greetings, to the servers, and the manager checking on your service. The drinks are great and the food is good. My wife and son stated they’re food was great. We ordered the Chorizo Fundido which was excellent, my lobster was flavorful however my stake wasn’t tasty at all. Overall we appreciate the service and atmosphere. We will definitely be back without children.

   It’s a very nice place, to me it was to laugh you can’t have a good conversation at least when I was there.

   The place is beautiful and great to celebrate a special occasion. Unfortunately the Marachis don’t start until after 8pm and we had reservations at 05:30pm, had we know I would likely picked another restaurant. You really come here for the ambience. Don’t get me wrong, the food is good; however, the portions are small and kinda pricey. Also, they have a cute cart with drinks that come around—again ambience—but the drinks are very expensive. Just to give you an idea-party of 4, three appetizers, three entrees (two of us shared a plate) and 6 drinks (three cocktails, not top shelf liquor, and 3 shots) was $500.00. That’s steakhouse prices for good but nothing special Mexican cuisine. I say if you do go, at least ensure you enjoy mariachis for that price. Come here to celebrate but not worth it for a random dinner night.

   Went there to celebrate my birthday, food service ambiance amd mariachi was all amazing the only thing is the volume was almost club like and we couldn't even hear eachother to have a small convo... if the speakers were down just a little it would be absolutely perfect.

   I’m genuinely glad we didn’t read the reviews.. The ambiance, staff, drinks, and food were all outstanding. We were getting a little impatient as we were seated 40 minutes after our reservation time, however given the fact that we were a Party of 15!! It truly should have been expected. Our server Erika with a “K” was phenomenal, didn’t skip a beat with our large group. She was attentive, patient and friendly! She always had a smile on her face, while answering our questions in regards to substitutions & or recommendations. We would absolutely return. My dad now wants his bday there too. 🤣 Thank you Erika, for making our Mom’s Birthday extra special! 🫶🏼

   I've dined here multiple times and despite really wanting to like it, I just can't recommend it. I will not return. Cons: -The marchiachi band is ridiculously and unnecessarily loud. You cannot have any sort of conversation with others at your table. -The restaurant is overpriced. -The food is good, but not great; definitely not worth the price. -When I arrived 15 minutes early for my reservation, the hostess made us wait until the exact reservation time before seating us, even though the table was empty the entire time. -We then waited another 15 minutes before being acknowledged by a server. The server was wonderful and apologized, explaining that the hostess hadn't assigned our table to a server. Pros: -The drinks are fun and tasty. -The mariachi band is a nice touch, but it's way too loud. Overall, I'm giving this place a 2-star rating (vs 1-star) mainly because of the drinks.

    I’ve been to this restaurant a few times . The food is good, the ambience is great but OMG it’s toooo loud in there . If you want to catch up with friends or family and actually hear what people are saying, this is not the place . We had to ask to sit outside and still at times it’s too loud .
