Customer Reviews
Delicious! We visited this restaurant after our gymnastics tournament today, we had a party of 10, the got us in quickly. Service was great, food came out quickly AND they gave all of the kids a scoop of ice cream. They had a little topping bar for the ice cream cups with gummy worms, chocolate chips, m&m and all kinds of sauces. So awesome! I got the steak tacos and they were wonderful. Loved the spicy sauce that came with it and the beans! I also loved that they brought out a little side of beans to dip our chips on along with salsa. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️
This place is really hit or miss. Some days we have a great experience, and other days it feels like the complete opposite. The chips and salsa are consistently good, and my food always comes out great with no issues. The drinks, however, can be inconsistent sometimes they’re perfect, and other times it seems like there’s barely any alcohol or the bartender isn’t familiar with the drink. The facility itself is fine, clean, and comfortable. The bigger issue is the service. There are times when the staff seems to forget about tables, and you end up waiting a long time just to place an order, get drinks, receive your food, or even get the bill. Overall, it can be good, but the inconsistency makes it hard to know what kind of experience you’re going to get.
Pretty slow service, but very good food and margaritas. So if you aren't in a hurry, definitely worth it! Thought it would be more happening on Cinco de mayo but still enjoyed our meals- the potato enchiladas and chicken enchiladas were both great. And a strong house margarita is a bonus :P
We go there monthly, girls night out. Took half an hour for a drink and waters. Took another 30 minutes for chips. Tables were served and left. We sat. Asked other servers for help. Nada. Finally, loudly said we are going to taco bell. 4 hours of poor service, glasses and baskets of chips piled up on the table. Waited 10 minutes to pay our tab. First time ever We thought about walking out. And then we were charged for makers mark, when we didn't ask for it.
Absolutely Fantastic Food! Welcoming atmosphere and very friendly staff. The complimentary fresh tortilla chips and salsa and bean dip is perfect for an appetizer and I love the huge menu choices. Plates come quickly and are quite filling! Perfect for groups or couples. If you're looking for comfortable great food and wanting to leave full and happy...this is the place for you!
