The staff is great. The margaritas are delightful. The $22 “BIG” nachos they recommend to share with 4-5 people…quite misleading. The flavor was great and love that every chip has toppings… but it’s approximately 25 chips (almost $1 per chip) which is suitable for maybe 2 people. If I chose to eat that as my “meal”, I could have easily finished it myself. Also taking off a star because SO many menu items have cilantro already cooked in, which is an absolute bummer considering half our party has the “soap” gene.

Solid Mexican Restaurant. Next time, I am going to try the second floor for it looked amazing. I definitely had better burritos before but really good. The staff was really nice and the aesthetic was awesome.

Seems to be a very popular place— they were slammed when we went on a Wednesday night at 6:30. Hostess was very kind and we were seated earlier than our 30 min wait time. Table service was very slow, but I understand that a lot of places are dealing with staffing shortages. I got a margarita, which was good, and we split the nachos with grilled steak. The steak was cooked well and had a good flavor, but the tray of nachos was a little wimpy for the price. I’m glad I tried this place out, but I probably won’t be back.
