Personal favorites are the chorizo queso and a monster margarita, both of which we order regularly. The fajitas and enchiladas are also reliable choices if you’re deciding what to get.
They sometimes have live music, and while that can feel overwhelming at smaller restaurants, this space is large enough that it usually doesn’t overpower the experience. The atmosphere is clean and upscale, and they have a very nice bar area.
Service can be a little slow at times, though not on every visit and the wait times can also be pretty long. Overall, it’s a dependable spot for good Mexican food, drinks, and a nice night out.
From the moment you walk in, the atmosphere is ecstatic- the place is beautifully decorated with lots of attention to detail, lots of colors, and you feel like you’ve taken a door into another culture. They also use hundreds of bottles in different colors, shapes and sizes to create a colorful experience. The restaurant is pretty big and has many tables inside and outside. If you want a table outside you can be seated pretty quickly but to sit inside, on a Friday night, when they have live music, the wait could be over an hour long. When we got there the wait was 45 minutes but while we were sitting there we heard them tell another family that the way it had grown to an hour and 10 minutes.
We were surprised to see some pretty wonderful prices for very decent plates of food. Considering we were having dinner and the local prices at other restaurants, their prices are excellent. The food came out pretty quickly after we ordered it- it was hot and tasted good. The Mariachi band came around playing music and were absolutely amazing entertainers, musicians and singers.
We would go again.
What was “meh” about the experience:
When we got the bill for the food, price was great for a group of four but then there was this mystery service charge of 18% which was separate from a tip. Come to find out this is something charged by some restaurants to help them with other costs or employee wages…. But why not put the added cost into the menu like everyone else does And so that your patrons see exactly what they will be paying in the end? Why instead opt to give your guests a surprise fee at the end? It was an unpleasant and unwelcome surprise…. It felt sneaky- I’m just thinking of other people who count every penny in planning for a budget- this would have thrown them off.
We kept seeing that they sat other people ahead of us who had gotten there after us- come to find out they sent us a texts but we were not aware of because of the loud atmosphere. However, we were 3 ft in front of the hostess- she did not bother in calling our name to see if we were there (a due diligence) So it wasn’t until we went up to the front to find out why they were sitting other people in front of us that they said “were ready for you”.
Once we sat down, the waiter was alright but spoke pretty quickly and softly so we had to ask him to repeat himself a few times.
We got chips and salsa but received no plates to put these on. Our food was delivered and we had to wait to get our silverware… Just little things they could still work on wich affect the experience.
I come here whenever I’m in town, and it never disappoints. The food is always delicious, and the portion sizes are great, you definitely leave full. They also really understand gluten allergies, which makes ordering stress free.
The mariachi band brings such a fun vibe, and Sonny is the best! He’s friendly, funny, and just makes the whole experience even better.
Always a great time here. Definitely recommended!
Thank you, Sonny!
