She was happy & attentive Chips come with a fresh warm salsa, coffee was delicious & my food was filling and delicious. My four year old got the pancakes, eggs, and bacon. He said it was delicious & the pancakes looked good. It's clean and noise is about a medium, they have a good Spanish playlist playing. A bar area towards the back & plenty of seating options with a few tables outside as well! It was just me and my son & I payed around $40 - so a little pricey. Just keep in mind if you plan to come. Could also be what I ordered lol

Our experience was extremely disappointing, largely because of the service. From the moment we…read morearrived, the hostess, Brooklyn, seemed irritated. When we politely asked if we could switch tables, she rolled her eyes, walked away without saying anything, and made us feel like we were inconveniencing her. Unfortunately, our server, Filiberto, was no better. Throughout the meal, he repeatedly forgot basic items like our water, tortillas, and napkins--even after we reminded him more than once. For most of the meal, he was nowhere to be found, leaving us waiting for long periods whenever we needed anything. Good food can make up for a lot, but poor service from both the hostess and our waiter completely overshadowed the experience. We left feeling unwelcome and frustrated. Hopefully management addresses these issues, because no customer should be treated this way. Honestly, the hostess Brooklyn was the biggest disappointment. She walked everyone to their tables with a glare the entire evening and just looked miserable. She shouldn't be a hostess!

I can't wait for the leftovers. Mike's plate was bigger than mine, and he said everything was excellent. I collected my "fajita tax" from his plate and it was excellent.

We started with a small queso that came with both pickled and sliced fresh jalapeños. For our main, we ordered the fajitas for one, with half beef and half chicken. The beef was incredibly tender, and the chicken was expertly seasoned, with lots of grilled onions, beans, rice, guacamole, pico de gallo, shredded cheese, and warm flour tortillas. It was all perfectly complemented by great margaritas, draft beer, and an endless supply of chips and salsa. Honestly, this meal was a definite winner. We'll definitely be coming back!

While the atmosphere and location are definitely nice, it feels like that's what people are really coming for--not the food or service. For the price and the hype, I expected so much more.

I asked the girl can you fill it a little more because now it's looking empty to me, at this point, I'm already annoyed because she really brought it back almost empty and I paid 5 dollars for the small cup.... manager comes out big Mexican with spiky hair and tells me they have certain types of measurements and if I want to fill it more it will be an extra 1.99!! That's just ridiculously expensive for a s/m cup of horchata, like be so for real Horchata the price of a margarita is just insane to me. If I would've said yes charge me that 1.99 I would've paid 7 dollars for this dumb shit. I literally just told them to put the ice back in there so I don't feel like I wasted my money
