Margaritas were decent, and that’s about the only positive thing I can say. Service was slow and confused. Food was absolutely terrible. No seasoning, no flavor. It was like an old white man made what he thought Mexican food should taste like without ever having tasted Mexican food. Completely terrible. Do NOT eat here.
Poor service. Hostess was agitated, rude, complaining about everything for all to hear, rolled her eyes as we walked in and just overall ignored us. We had never been there before and we definitely will not return to try again as we walked out very dissatisfied.
If possible, sit on the patio. While the inside is nice, the patio is full of plants and lights and had an excellent vibe. The food is authentic and delicious.
