The experience was great did make reservations and was seated 15min later after my reservation so I’m not sure on why make a reservation. Waiter was overwhelmed she was great but had multiple tables and only took our drink order and took her 10min to tell us the drinks where on its way then came back after 15min and offer water left and still didn’t take our order. We basically stayed for 2 hours kinda made sense on why seating was taking forever .. Food was great just expected it to be more Spicy since I got the mole enchiladas and my friends got the enchiladas verdes also a must when you get the queso fundido.. Will try it again won’t let one experience ruined it.

We had a reservation at 6:30 on a Friday night, but we were not seated until 7:00. The table we were given for 7 people was more like a table for 4-5 at most. It took an hour to get a drink after we ordered it. The quesabirria was bland at best. The blue corn tortillas stunk like they were old or something odd. The other plates were mediocre in taste but not worth the prices. The “spicy and chamoy rimmed” micheladas were actually just Clamato juice and beer for $12. I also wrote a note on the Open Table reservation that we were celebrating a special birthday. That was never acknowledged. On top of the very poor service and overpriced food and drinks, we were charged an automatic 20% tip. Hopefully, they take constructive criticism and modify some big issues in order to survive in the business.
