    DELISH!!! Fantastic food and drink options. Service was great! It was midday on a rainy weekday, so I can’t speak to the normal volume but we enjoyed fairly quiet ambiance. Can’t wait to return and sit outside when the weather improves!

    It was fine but had never been there and with it rated so high on tripadvisor I expected a much better experience. House margaritas just sweet. Delivered food without silverware and had to wait while food lost heat. Sat outside which was nice - inside kind of cold feeling. Food was all right but nothing special. Won't be going back there.

    Great location and the food was good but the service was terrible. It took 20 minutes to get anyone to come to our table to take a drink order. Then the food took over an hour and our second order of drinks was forgotten until we asked about them when the food came. No one came to check on us while we were waiting for the food and no one acknowledged the issues. Hostess was great though. Server was either very unhappy to be working and didn’t actually put in our orders until much later or there were major issues in the kitchen causing issues for everyone else. Only recommend if you’ve got lots of time and patience.

    Okay so let’s talk. The drinks took more than 12 minutes to come out. The food was good. The server forgot my appetizer order of chips and guac. And my friend never received her ceviche until the very end. I never received my guacamole till the end. Luckily, my friend stayed cuz we had to leave and hopefully enjoyed it. I’ve been here before and have raved about the service but tonight was horrible. I will not be coming back. Also - the server blamed the kitchen on everything. And there was no toilet paper in the bathrooms and it was a mess.

    Slow greeting upon arrival. Restaurant was not crowded, so no wait on seating. Server was new and very polite. Took my order and dinner arrived 45 minutes after seating. I ordered the Agua steak quesadillas. Food was great.

    A**. Smelt like onions all throughout. Service was not great; he wasn't attentive. Thankfully I asked a lot of questions about the menu because a lot of the ingredients are lies. Drinks are terrible. Go here after you already been somewhere else and you want to go somewhere else and can't find anywhere else to go. At least it's by the water.
