    We had Sunday brunch here and my guests and I enjoyed it. Food was very good. Drinks were on point. And the service was helpful and friendly. But they were missing coffee! On a Sunday morning! All in all, a great place and fun experience.

    Everything would have been great, if it hadn’t been for the rudeness of the waiters. We stayed there for a couple of hours, and the minute we stoped ordering they basically kicked us out and said that they needed the table. I’m not returning never

    Service was okay. Meat in the tacos was tough and taste was “off”. Waiter told us rice & beans were included before we ordered and then said they weren’t included.

    Fun neighborhood restaurant bar vibe. Really good food. Adjacent tables talkative but not overwhelming. Good service and value. By no means a fancy restaurant but just really comfortable.

    Fun place to come and get some food and drinks. The vibe is great. Food comes out fast and is pretty good. The margaritas are large and sweet, unfortunately too sweet for my liking and not strong enough, very weak drinks for the cost and size.

    Drinks weren’t good and service was slow. The restaurant marketed a 9am opening but didn’t open until almost 9:30am
