While the food was very good, the noise level was very loud. It was my first time there so I had no idea on the noise level. The food portions size could have been more to justify the prices IMHO. It tasted very good but nothing extra ordinary for the price.

Absolutely delicious meal. The best enchiladas I’ve ever had! I had the crab, lobster and shrimp enchiladas and they were incredible. As were everyone’s meals that they ordered. Our server Omar was very helpful and catered to my children really well too.

I wish we wrote down our servers name but let me just say she made our anniversary dinner amazing. It was such a great experience! The hostess definitely gave attitude and was rude but the server and everyone else made up for it!

Great vibes, excellent service, and tasty food. Overall, we had a great time with our party of six. Food is a little on the pricey side for what you get, but that is to be expected for the quality and ambiance. Would consider to come again for special occasions.

The ambience and service are the shining stars here. Food is very good but not sure worth the price. But hard to say anything bad because it was a very enjoyable night. Personally I’d save it for a more special evening than just an average night out. Even though it’s a very busy, loud and energetic place, our round booth table for six in the middle of the restaurant still felt very private.

Always great service and food. We just know it is not a "dinner conversation " night. Noise level is very high . But worth it every time !
