Reviews
Even from the parking lot, you can already smell the food. The whole area was filled with the smoky steak aroma, which instantly made me extra hungry.
When you walk in, you can see them handmaking their own tortillas, and that alone got me really excited to try the food.
We were seated in a separate room. It was a bit small, but it definitely gave off NYC vibes. The decorations were done so well—I couldn’t stop complimenting the space.
We arrived right in time for Happy Hour, where you can get a large margarita for the price of a small, which is a great deal.
As soon as we sat down, they brought out tortillas and salsa like most Mexican restaurants—but these were surprisingly much better. I believe it’s because of their fresh handmade tortillas.
What we ordered:
Superior Quesadillas – Nicely plated and came with sides (I forgot to take a picture so I don’t remember exactly what they were). It was decent, but nothing really special.
San Lucas Sizzling Fajitas – Came with skirt steak and shrimp. The shrimp was butterflied Texas-style and served with all the usual sides. The meat was good, but I didn’t like the vegetables. They were too soft and lacked that grilled, charred flavor. The pan was extremely hot, so the vegetables ended up burning and sticking to it instead.
Service:
Honestly, I didn’t like the service. The server was okay, but definitely not great. I usually love Mexican restaurants because of their warm, friendly staff, but this experience made me uncomfortable.
We felt rushed the entire time—she kept taking our plates and drinks before we were finished, and I had to ask for them back multiple times (not just once).
What really killed the mood was the shots. Even though we felt rushed, every time we ordered shots it took forever to arrive. We waited almost 20 minutes total for just two rounds of shots, which is ridiculous for something so simple. I understand it was busy, but many busy restaurants still don’t make customers wait that long. It really ruined the vibe for us.
Final thoughts:
The bill was pricey, and I knew that going in—but I had high expectations and left totally disappointed. The food was just decent, yet very overpriced. For the same amount of money, you could go to another Mexican restaurant or even a food truck and get a full feast.
I rarely complain about service—especially since I used to be a server—but this time I couldn’t overlook it.
Would I recommend it?
• Fresh tortillas & happy hour drinks: YES
• Food & service: NO
Unless you’re coming strictly for the vibes and pretty decor, I wouldn’t recommend spending your money here. There are much better places out there.
We were told extra chairs were coming — they never did. We clearly told our server we were a party of 6 and who was on our ticket. At no point were we told checks could only be split 4 ways. That wasn’t mentioned until it was time to pay.
We waited 1.5 HOURS just to cash out. There were 15 kids in our group — tired, crying, and ready to go. Management never came when requested. Random items were thrown onto one ticket, and my cousin ended up paying nearly $100 extra because of their mistake.
A 20% gratuity was automatically added — and it was paid. This was not about tipping. It was about poor communication and lack of organization.
We spent a significant amount of money, and what should have been a special night was handled poorly.
Do not recommend for large parties.
NO SWEET TEA… Mgrs don’t want to offer it.. why?? Food had the seasoning of Red Lobster… that didn’t end well for them.
Food needs snap! offering Tabasco regular, not even Garlic Tabasco or Garlic Cayenne is not an alternative.
Love the layout, seating and menu options…. But here in Lafayette… obvious to most sweet tea and food with flare is a….. well…… obvious.
Waited the long to go… probably a lot longer before we go back.
To many choices, ya know.
