We came in with three little kids who are like monsters, but the way Megan took care of us was just amazing. Thank you Megan for great food and even greater service.
Okay hear me out - I love Mexican food. But this just made me overall feel sad and dissapointed both in quality and overall experience. The floors were prettysticky as was our table. It was a later dinner so I understand things can be chaotic but whenever its not seat yourself and you end up at a dirty table ot makes me question what else is nit being maintained. The food was subar and lacked flavor. We rarely saw our waiter, the chips we had were stale and the salsa... Lackluster. HOWEVER the one thing this place does have : AMAZING margaritas. We would come back for drinks alone but I dont think food is in the cards again.
Service was great. Did not like the chicken tortilla soup but my salad was delicious. The portions are large. We usually get another meal out of it.
