Don’t send anything back. The waiter will come over and pick a fight if you do. My wife’s margarita was way too sweet for her so I tried it, and yes, it was over the top sweet. Then I tried my mother’s, and it was better. When I asked the waitress to take it back, one of the waiters (the tattooed guy) comes running over and started arguing with me that the margarita was fine. Flat out said I was wrong and that it wasn't too sweet. I asked him if he made it. He didn’t. I asked him if he tasted it. He didn’t. Then I asked him if it was possible that the person who made the margarita put too much mix in this one. He said, “No, it’s not possible. They’re all made the same.” Exact words. So instead of just taking the drink back and refunding our money, he decided to argue with us in front of the whole restaurant and call my wife and me liars without ever really knowing if the drink was too sweet. Regarding the food, this was my third visit because my parents like coming here. The first time

One of our usual brunch restaurants was closed for repair and since we were in Poway we searched for an alternative that was close by. This restaurant seemed to have good reviews so we decided to give it a try. The restaurant itself is in a nice strip mall off Poway Rd. It's decorated well and offers both indoor and patio dining. It's very clean and comfortable. We were seated immediately after entering, offered our choice of inside or outside, it was quiet enough we opted for a comfortable booth inside. The waitress was attentive and friendly. Service was very good, no complaints. The food was average. Not amazing, not bad. When my food came out it was incorrect but the waitress rectified it quicky and was very sweet about it. Everything was cooked well enough but nothing really stood out about the food. I had a margarita that was tasty. Overall I'd not go out of my way to eat here again but I wouldn't balk at it if someone wanted to meet there for lunch. There are both better and wor

Food was good, the drink was okay i ordered a strawberry daiquiri and it tasted a little bland. There was no wait to be seated, but there was a wait to get our drinks and food. Maybe they were short staffed idk.
