Came here for date night with my hubby, and it was absolutely phenomenal! Everything we ordered was bursting with flavor, and our server was attentive, friendly, and efficient. We ordered the Fries Appetizer, Tacos, Churros and Ice cream (AMAZING!) The food arrived quickly, and the live DJ kept the hits coming all night. I had such a great time here and can’t wait to come back!

Parking was horrible due to event that purchased both of the closest parking structures. Check in was fast an easy even though I was a few minutes late due to parking , the staff was understanding. The vibes musically put on by DJ A were amazing, giving 90s chill and turn up!
Marcy waitress was attentive and helpful in her drink suggestions. She was pleasant.
The chicken taquitos were nicely flavored . The brunch French toast combo was a nice portion and flavor. there is a $5 per person reservation of made online on open door. It is refunded after completion of reservation.

Went on a Wednesday evening around 6:30 PM to use our $100 Dining Credit Groupon. Marcela was our server and bartender and she was great. Drinks and food came out pretty quickly. The cadillac margarita was great. Got nachos as our appetizer and they were yummy. For our entrees, we got carnitas which came with rice, beans, pico de gallo and guac and grilled salmon. Everything was delicious. Will definitely come back here.

We visited on a Saturday evening before 6 pm, using a $100 Groupon. We weren’t expecting it to be a lively place with such loud music. It isn’t your typical family restaurant. We ordered nachos with chicken, fajitas with steak, enchiladas with steak, and grilled salmon. The food was absolutely delicious, and the staff were very friendly.

Daysha was absolutely phenomenal, her attention to detail and customer service was above all. We really appreciate her top tier service, would recommend coming to this place to everyone and lucky if she is your waitress. We were a party of 8 that grew to 12 and accommodate us all, thank you Daysha!

The food tasted amazing! And the beverages are delicious. It wasn’t crowded and there was plenty of staff. However, we walked in and no one greeted us. We walked past the patio into the restaurant where no one approached us either. Waitresses, bar backs, bartenders… They did ask us to step aside so they could keep moving. The DJ was the only person who talked to us. After 7 minutes we sat on the patio after standing by the bar trying to get any staff attention. 15 minutes later a friendly waiter came to bring brunch menus and take drink order. 10 minutes later a waitress stopped by to ask about us if anyone had spoken to us yet…. Apparently she was supposed to be our waitress because she was serving the table right next to us. A waiter that had a large bridal party on the other side of the patio came over to assist us. I don’t remember his name but I appreciate him so very much The ladies restroom was dirty as if they hadn’t cleaned it that day. I enjoyed the ambience, the food was delicious… But it should not have taken that long to be greeted. The gentleman that served us is amazing!

I called the restaurant to inquire about reservations, and they told me I needed to go online to make the reservation. I went online to OpenTable to make the reservation for my birthday, January 6, 2026 at 7pm. I had to pay $30 to make the reservation once I arrived at the restaurant on January 6, 2026. The restaurant was closed. When I called originally to make the reservation, she never said that they would be closed on Tuesday. They charged my card for the $30, and they were closed. I haven’t received my money back yet, and no one is answering the phone as of today, January 9, 2026

Amazing. Here by myself and new to Long Beach, I’m thrilled I found this place. Food was amazing! Started off with the winter Sangria which has a heavy spiced rum. I would leave that for dessert. The summer sangria also shown in the pictures was light and so yummy. I had the chicken tacos. Now this will sound weird but the beans were amazing! So were the tacos, but I wasn’t expecting it from a side like the beans. So, so good. Can’t recommend enough.

Great food and the server was nice. Giving 4 stars as the seats were not comfortable. But there is a great selection of food and drinks. Also turns into a sort of dance space in the later evening. We spent a lot, but there are plenty of things you can get and not spend so much. The fries pictured were inexpensive and very filling.
