   Service was slow and it was not that busy. Once we received service it was good. The food is great it always is here. The parking situation is a little messy with the valet guy no where to be found for 20mins. Try to get the staff to contact him and nobody was any help with that. Other than that the food was great, the place is amazing.

   Our server was very friendly and attentive. They would check in on us and made sure our table got the proper attention. The ambience was very nice and calming. Definitely a restaurant that is Instagram friendly. The food isn’t too bad but it’s almost unfair to compare it to authentic Mexican food that is just across the border.

   El Sueño was fantastic! The Fundido El Sueño had plenty of lobster and shrimp. My shrimp tacos were packed with flavor, and her queso birria tacos were really good. They didn’t skimp on anything! The Old Fashioned and Margarita of the Month were perfect. Great food, drinks, and vibes!

   Reservation was at 7 we weren’t seated until 7:30 after being told it would not even be a 20 minute wait. After we were seated another 10 minutes went by and no waiter had come by so we left

   The food was great and portion size was amazing. But the service on the other hand was not so great. There was only two parties in the restaurant with one of them being myself and the servers barley attended to us I felt like I had to keep getting up and grabbing the attention of the servers at one point they were no where to be found the first 10 minutes we were seated. I gave this place an overall 3/5 stars because the food was once again amazing just wish I had a better experience with the service.

   It was the first time here. Loved the portion size and split every plate with my partner. The only thing is we were sitting on a table that was slightly crooked and chairs a little rocky. Food was okay. We tried the fajitas and the meat was just ok. I asked for lime as it would’ve made it better in the moment but the limes were brought from the bar and super dry. Other than that it did look like inside and the music was good. It’ll not sure if we’ll be back but it was worth the try.

   First time there and I definitely liked the atmosphere. Food and drinks were great. I think that night they were short of staff since the server was very busy and looks like he was serving all the tables by himself. Not his fault though. He was very attentive and friendly. I’m definitely going back.

   I enjoyed our experience and will come back for the steak fajitas. The decor tried a little too hard, particularly for being sat basically in a plant.
