    Honestly, this was an amazing spot for a birthday, I should know because there were seven other birthdays that were happening around me and with good reason between the atmosphere and the music and the food (that does take a little while to come out but i think they’re trying to liquor you up a little lol) it was just such a great time! The manager made sure we were good and taken care of TWICE and i definitely would 100% come back here! (I made numerous changes to this reservation due to people and life lol but not once did they make it an issue) They sat us quickly too!

    We went to this restaurant based on mixed feedback and so we wanted to make our own judgment. Our experience is quite a disaster. My Margarita was probably the worst I have ever taken in any other Mexican restaurant. Appetizers were average and I will not complain. The main course was a disaster. We tried chef's recommendation "Pollo Con Mole" for all three of us. It basically came with simple boiled half chicken into two pieces over a sauce, that is even tasteless. We would never tried that if chef's recommendation was not written. We felt so bad that we had to order a desert to get some taste back on our mouth. We will never ever visit this restaurant again as it is impossible for them to turn around. The service was very good, but how good is that if the food quality is so poor? We will not recommend this restaurant to anyone.

    We were greeted warmly and seated promptly. Waiter was friendly and offered great drink suggestions. Our dinner was just what we expected - tasty and a good portion. The restaurant was lively with good music in the background, lively chatter all around and lots of people enjoying themselves. It was a great way to celebrate a birthday!

    Always great food and exceptional service … would still love to see a “traditional” burrito option on the menu, but still plenty to choose from

    Food and ambience were good, but the service wasn't the best. Not sure if because we were a party of six and already had the tip included in our bill the waitress wasn't as attentive.

    The food, drinks and service were exceptional as usual. They’ve got a new 500 capacity car parking lot too which makes it even better.

    3rd visit here and definitely the worst. Waited for reserved table. Waited for server to take orders. Waited for drinks. Waited for food...... Not enough staff, disorganized table system. The feel of the place has changed to that of a money making business that treats customers like cattle. Food and drinks decent and the decor/atmosphere is still good. Except for the relentless birthday flares/singing. Needs a reset before I will revisit
