Busy and festive atmosphere! My sister and I went there for a drink and appetizer. The staff seemed very rushed. I wouldn't say we were neglected. The food was okay. The corn for the street corn was kind of soggy. The wings had sauce on one side but not the other. The chips were good, thin and crispy. Our drinks were strong and we appreciated the happy hour specials.

Love this place! The atmosphere is so fun and welcoming. The food is absolutely delicious—everything we tried was full of flavor and perfectly cooked. The service was excellent too—friendly, attentive, and fast. Can’t wait to come back!

Good spot for dinner and drinks with friends. The drinks were great! I had ceviche which was delicious and my partner ordered tacos. Nice atmosphere and the service was great!

Everything was good, from the food to the service and the atmosphere, of course. It's a beautiful restaurant inside and out with plenty of space. The rice and beans were different than any other Mexican restaurant I have ever had in the area. The rice has peas and corn like I make at home feom scratch with tomato bouillon. The beans are made with a hint of something red as well. I'm not sure if there are red kidney beans included or some other bean. Possibly just the seasoning that changes the color and flavor. I liked the beans they just had too much cheese for me. The chimichanga and taco salad lunch special were plentiful. They were 12 lunches, so they should be. We'll try again for dinner sometime. Our server was attentive until the end when we had to wait for the check about 5 minutes. It wasn't bad, and there would have been a way to pay without him returning, so no biggie.

The food was good and pretty on par for mexican food. They had some very interesting and creative designed decor, made it fun for sure. Only thing was that the staff seem to be in a rush to get us out. For a sit down place it was pretty fast paced. We were ask to have our orders in before we even got our drinks and the check was on the table before I got my first taco down.
