   Service was terrible. took way too long to get incredibly watered down drinks. One was literally all ice. We were given one handful of chips for six people and dip without spoons. They completely forgot one appetizer.One person ordered something that after -15 minutes they said they were out of and when he reordered something that came they still charged for the side that was supposed to come with the original order. We were jammed into a booth and it was impossible to even tell the server. Then they served one person 5 minutes before the rest . Another person ordered the short rib that came with a sauce but no spoon and was simply salted overcooked beef. Another person ordered sour cream which they forgot and the brought 10min later. I’ve never been here before but go to wizards games and thought I’d give it a try. Never again and I’ll tell everyone

   Our waitress was very good. However, the bar service was horrible. Got our drinks half way thru eating. The carne asada was cooked correctly but was tough enough to need steak knives which there were none. Gravy was said to be not that spicy was very spicy. Very few non spicy options.

   This is a very lively and busy place, with a fairly high noise level. The service was very good, however, and the food was good but not outstanding. The staff was very helpful and professional.

    I wondered why there was ample space in the middle of a packed Christmas market and I quickly found out: - food was waaay to salty. Other people I know who have eaten there agree. -Pay for store bought chips and beyond salty salsa? Ridiculous! - I got the chicken enchiladas. Too salty -Pay for rice and beans? Ridiculous! Go to any other Mexican restaurant. Pay less and eat well. Worst restaurant I've been to in years.
