Reviews
I had spoken with the restaurant through email and facebook to set up a taco bar for a 16th dinner party (2 adults, 13 teens). We walked in just before 6pm for our 6pm reservation and were met with blank stares. The restaurant was empty. No one was sure what was going on. Someone from back said they’re the party and we were walked into the “party room” – it looked NOTHING like the website. It was “repainted” but the whole place felt dirty and disorganized. There was a huge hole in the ceiling with buckets underneath and while we were eating, more of the ceiling fell. The tables were sticky, it was mismatched tables and crooked chairs, the ceiling was literally falling down, and to top it off, the tables weren’t even set up in a way that would accommodate the whole party. It wasn’t set up for us at all (I did let them know a final headcount the night before so that the seating would be arranged.) As we were trying to seat 15 people, 4 waitresses came in to get drink orders. It was very chaotic. It ended up that 2 of the girls had ordered large bowls of queso (they’re 15) from a random waitress and they brought it out. This was not supposed to happen as there was a set menu. I did order a large queso (because who can have a taco bar without it) and ordered a $23 catering size. When the bill came, I had $40 in queso charges. There was also a catering fee (I was told it was for the chafing dishes, supplies, personnel but it would be waived if I had a waitress and paid the gratuity) – I of course paid the 18% in gratuity, then added cash, pieces of cake and cookies for the staff. When I asked about the catering, the waitress said she couldn’t take it off. I asked through the FB messenger along with my concerns of the roof falling, sticky tables, etc. and was told that that wasn’t true that I used ONE chafing dish so of course there was a catering fee. That’s not what was said or agreed upon beforehand at all.
I’d also like to say that the waitress was fantastic. She was working our room and the bar/tables, which was a lot! I did mention the ceiling to her and she told me there was a leak. I get it, but then move the party somewhere else. There were plenty of people waiting around beforehand that should have noticed it and set the party up somewhere else. It wasn’t my responsibility to request that.
Here’s my big issues: it’s bad enough that the space was completely misrepresented; it was worse when a ceiling tile fell down while we were sitting there eating (and the FB msg person tried to tell me that it wasn’t an issue, the tile didn’t fall, and it wasn’t true but please see pics), but then the additional costs and brush off are just annoying and rude.
I’m a single mom so this party that was supposed to be about around $200 ($10/per person) ended up being over $325. The food was fine but it tasted like every other Mexican restaurant in town, nothing special. It was our first and unfortunately our last at this establishment.

Not important but also annoying: I also forgot to give them my phone number (that was attached to the reservation) when the bill came since they have loyalty points. When I asked about it later, I was told that they couldn’t add it because it was considered a catering order (but if I had ordered online, I would have gotten the points).
The downside…the furnishing could use some rehab. Upside…good food and service, I’ll visit again to try their Birria Ramen.
We can here the Saturday after Thanksgiving and it was somehow dead.
I would absolutely come back here.
This place is excellent
The food is definitely made here and not “Sysco Mexican” which happens at a lot of places. There are great flavors but my go to when I just don’t want to eat is their side of grilled chicken. It comes out hot, juicy, with good flavor. No matter what else is going on with life, that’s my favorite comfort food.
Oh the margaritas are just right. Boozy enough to hit but aren’t a knockout punch. Plus there’s flavor of the mix, not too alcohol-y. Two will get you going and three will get you wobbly.
