All the other tips seem to talk about bad service and only their booze. Place has awesome food. Get the tacos . Bomb. Service was great.

Andy Davidson

Upscale Mexican inspired food. Nice beer menu and tasty cocktails . The Fish tacos were good.

Amanda Hennessy

Service is dependent on who you get. Everything that we had food and drink was excellent!! The guacamole is great, the salads and fantastic, and the margaritas &bloody Mary's didn't disappoint.

Sugi

Our experience was terrible and rude. The food was OK but nothing special. There are definitely better places for Mexican food and drink. Pity, the place looked like fun. One you can miss out on.

Yummy tacos and apps and such a fun atmosphere ! Prices weren't too bad either!

The server seemed to be the only one working. We waited in line for way too long only to eat food that was just okay. Tap water tastes like dirty change. Location is nice but would not recommend.
