   This is the third time I have eaten here. The food is amazing and the drinks are fun and tasty. I would eat here every week if it was a little closer to me. Highly recommend the guacamole - it is the best I have had.

   We went for my son’s bday weekend. I messaged the restaurant on open table telling them it was my son’s birthday. I also told the hostess. We ordered a drink. Our waiter suggested we order our appetizer and dinner at the same time as the kitchen was slow. We did. Our dinner arrived while we were eating our appetizers. What a disappointment. We ate our meal and while we were asking for boxes for our leftovers, my husband too paid the bill. I asked the waiter what happened to the HB singing. He didn’t know it was my son’s birthday. He apologized. We arrived at 6:55pm and left at 7:35… no joke! The whole experience was too fast to really enjoy. We didn’t even have time to order a second drink…..

   We came here with a party of 7 for my daughter's birthday. The food and service were excellent! We will definitely be back.

   Asked for a high chair 3x by the time I received we had already got our food. Then my baby’s food was sent out in dirty containers. Waited to be seated for more than 20 minutes when we had a reservation and watched several people come after us be sat first.

   Food was good. Drinks were great! Services started good, but they were moving so fast they forgot our silverware, my water, and by the time the food came I had to ask for the other half of my food. We were completely rushed, I was on my 3rd bite of food and he was asking did we need boxes. We were 100% squished, seems as though they’re lacking quality because they want make as much money as possible. There was so much going on…lots of birthday celebrations every 15min, TVs, music, lights. Great food and good idea but I probably won’t be back unless it’s just for drinks at the bar!

   Went with a group of friends for a girls evening! Services was amazing and quick! The food was absolutely delicious and the vibe of the restaurant was so much fun! There were ALOT of birthdays and they really went all out with the change of music, sparkler on the dessert/cake, and big light up sign! Love this place and I will be back again! We all had an amazing time and the drinks were so fun and delicious!

   10/10 Experience! We celebrated my daughter’s 16th birthday here, and it was absolutely perfect! The food was delicious, the atmosphere was fantastic, and everything was spotless. The service was top-notch—attentive, friendly, and truly made our celebration special. We highly recommend this place and will definitely be back!

   We have been here several times and I still feel this is the best full service Mexican restaurant in the city! Food presentation is always top notch and you can’t beat the service! I have never had a bad meal here yet. The mole’ is one thing I get the most because it is excellent Yesterday I had the Enchiladas Mexico- another good choice. My friends always get the fajitas and said they are the best! Cocktails are always awesome and presentation is off the chart!

    It was not that great. And they charged us the fee we had to use to hold the reservation. Be aware.
