This review is long overdue, but it reflects our honest experience with this venue during our…read morewedding planning and celebration earlier this year. We first visited the venue in early April as one of several potential options for our late May wedding. When we initially called to inquire about pricing, we were informed that those details could only be discussed in person. Given the distance, I asked for at least a general idea of costs. However, Claudia, our point of contact, insisted pricing could only be discussed in person. Despite concerns, we scheduled a visit. Upon arrival, we noticed the parking area was caliche, which seemed unprofessional. There were several dogs on the property, which turned out to be living there. The palm trees were beautiful, but the landscaping was clearly in need of maintenance. The office door was difficult to open, possibly due to structural shifting--an odd first impression. During our consultation, we were quoted $85 per guest (discounted with higher attendance). Flower options were $7,500 for real or $6,500 for artificial. Bartender services were $1,350 (not including alcohol), and coordination was $1,500. There was also a ceremony setup fee of $250 and a $500 overtime charge. Tables, chairs, catering, and decor were included, but catering and bar services could not be replaced with outside vendors. Claudia offered a wooden dance floor "at no cost," which, based on previous reviews, appeared to be a standard sales tactic. She also mentioned a surprise bonus if we booked--which we never received. We decided to proceed with the venue based on the convenience of in-house services and the scenery. Payments were made via Cash App and Zelle to various individuals, which felt disorganized. Taste testing went smoothly, and they were flexible with decoration planning via FaceTime. The Wedding Experience Communication leading up to the event was lacking. The flow of the day was never clearly explained, and we had to follow up repeatedly. On the wedding day, several people acted as "coordinators," creating confusion. Moments before cake cutting, we were told we had to provide our own plates and utensils--this was never communicated. Family had to leave mid-reception to buy them. The floral setup was completed just 10 minutes before the ceremony. Many guests were not served the main course because they weren't in their seats--something we weren't warned about. The bartender left halfway through the night. His replacement admitted he didn't know how to make drinks and said the bartender had gone to the restroom--he never returned. The grass wasn't trimmed, and restrooms were dirty from the start. Some items went missing during setup, and while we reported this, there was no investigation or resolution. For a venue that charges coordination fees, the service was basic at best. Final Thoughts While our night was beautiful in many ways, the disorganization left us and several guests frustrated. It became clear that this is a family-run business operated out of a residence. That alone isn't an issue, but it explains why they require you to use their services, limiting flexibility. After the wedding, we reached out to Claudia with our concerns. She responded three weeks later, citing a vacation. While she acknowledged some issues and apologized, she often offered excuses or counterpoints. In hindsight, we would not book this venue again. Though visually appealing, it is overpriced for the level of service provided. If you're considering this location, I would recommend looking elsewhere. While it may be suitable for photography, it is not ideal for hosting a wedding

Lined with large potted plants, during the evening hours, the temperatures were comfortable, with the usage of fans, even though the building is open air. Plenty of room for guests, tables and chairs and also for dancing and a band. Catering and beverage service takes place at the back section. I highly recommend this space for any celebration or gathering that you are planning. Weddings, showers, birthdays, quinceneras, anniversaries or other special gatherings.

And who is this person? A friend of a friend? YOU tried to speak in Spanish? OMG I hope this works out. And it did, beautifully. Carmen and her sister Elsa did all the food and the decorations for a party of about 130 with seeming ease. Elsa transformed a raw space into a fiesta! forever! event. Gorgeous colored tablecloths, centerpieces, huge paper flowers, sombreros, candelarias. The whole thing was just perfect and probably the best that place is ever gonna look. Carmen, the chef of the duo, cooked, set up, served, cleaned up and generally made everyone as happy as pigs in shit. And I dont use that very graphic phrase lightly. On the menu: small homemade corn and flour tortillas, fajita, chicken, pork asada, pork belly, gorditas, quesadillas, poblano with cream and corn (veggie), towers of trompo (marinated for days), a huge salsa bar, aguas frescas (fresh juices) of watermelon, mango, pineapple and all the serving ware included. Oh, this all cost us $20 a person & $15 a table. Your quote may be different but I was mightily impressed. It was like I walked into a portal to mexico, minus the scary drug guys and iffy food (but plus a lot of scary relatives.) It seems like that dynamic duo can handle any project you want to throw at them. And believe me, you should throw every event with them. People will be raving about it for years -- and I didnt have to lift a finger. Only a fork.

It's a casual (no surprise) counter service restaurant with inside and out seating. The service was quick and they had already sold out of some of their offerings. Being the meat lover that I am I decided to get both ribs and brisket. I'd put the ribs in the "very good" category. This is, after all, legit barbecue. No shortcuts. The brisket is what blew me away, however. Best I've had outside of maybe Lockhart in Dallas. The beef flavor is incredible and has plenty of both fat and meat. I would recommend this place to anyone who likes barbecue but especially for anyone who loves beef.
