Overall experience was a 10/10. Food is well seasoned and prepared. Atmosphere is so beautiful and my server Diego took special care of us, marvelous worker and terrific service. I will definitely be returning for some drinks next time. They also offer karaoke as well.

It was a good experience. The apps were my favorite item and the drinks. My steak was tough. The red snapper was pretty good and a large portion. I found it a little pricey. The decor alone is an experience. The service was okay for a slow night.

First time eating here and I will definitely be coming back! My family and I came here on a snowy day so it wasn’t as packed, but regardless the service was very good. Our server, Daisy, was super personable and kept up with us. The food was amazing and the portion sizes were perfect. The music and decorations made for a fun atmosphere while eating.

This was the first time we ever ate here. As a mexican family we are always looking for authentic mexican food near us. We visited on 1/1/2026. Everything was amazing! We loved the atmosphere, enjoying the live show, and our waiter Diego was great! He was patient, helpful, and funny. The woman singing this day was amazing as well! If she’s not a professional she definitely can be! We thoroughly enjoyed our experience! And we will be returning very soon!

Brought my daughter and her friends in for her birthday by her request . Ivan our server was phenomenal . He was engaging to a large group of 10 year old girls and had them laughing and smiling from beginning to end . They had a live dj and the girls got up and were having a birthday dance party . The birthday celebration that they doing the restaurant is also a site to see. All in all a great place to spend a birthday regardless of age. It truly is an experience .

We walked into a vibe, not just a restaurant. This service was outstanding. The food delicious (and quick!, It was at our table within a minutes). But today I have to talk about the vibe because the vibe here was incredible. In their early part of the evening, there were many families and I’m sure the kids enjoyed the art just as much as I did. There was so much to see in every corner. The DJ played great music the entire night. I love how they put the car prop in front of the screen for the DJ booth because it makes for a good scene with the background videos. I wish the lighting was different so I could’ve taken more pictures of the food, but take my word for it. It was delicious.!
