    Delicious food and atmosphere for Easter Sunday. I don’t think the Bottomless drink special was in play once I got our bill, which is how I signed up on Open Table!

    This should have been a relaxing dinner, instead it took nearly 2 hours for 3 people to have some cocktails, chips/guac & Tacos. Our server was terrible at coming back to the table, took more than 20 min for initial drinks and 2 of those drinks were ordered “neat” so no mixing. The real show stopper was the restroom. I went to use the restroom, both stalls were full, when the door opened it was the Hostess, who came out of a stall where the toilet was broken/not flushing, only to not wash her hands & return to folding napkins at the Hostess station. Needless to say, not only will I not be back but I’ll ensure my crew knows to stay away from this rolling dumpster fire of a restaurant.

    This place was just okay. It was way overpriced, in my opinion. We ordered a burrito and queso dip to share and it was nearly $50 after tip. The queso dip was lukewarm, which was disappointing because I like my food to be hot. The burrito was decent but not worth the price. The service was great and they were quick to get us in with a reservation and the ambience was cool, but I wouldn’t go back since everything was expensive and just not that great.

    Made a reservation via open table. They said we didn’t have one. Bar tender was stretched very thin, he was nice but had way too many tables, I ordered bottomless mimosas. Only got one refill as they “ran out” of champagne. Food was ok but queso was really good.

    We had date night with 2 other couples. Surprising, on a Saturday night, the noise level was good as we didn’t have to shout to be heard. I’m always disappointed in having to pay for chips and salsa at any Mexican restaurant (even at $2.50). We also ordered their Guacamole flight ($17 for quac, queso & salsa). They ran out of Lobster Tacos at 7p on a Saturday night. The Al Pastor Skewers were dry. The shrimp tacos were good but the amount of shrimp wasn’t vs $ wasn’t worth it. The carne asada plate was very good. The Monterey salad was very good. The Tijuana Burrito was very good as well. The churro plate was very tasty! The service was excellent. The manager comped our dessert because they ran out of lobster tacos.

    The food was okay. The fish tacos could have been better and the carne asada fries could have been more since most of the plate didn’t have much at all.
