Reviews

The restaurant's location is uniquely intriguing.
The quality of the food was quite good.
The service, although friendly, felt a bit rushed.
While the establishment has potential, it seems that the ownership may be experiencing burnout.
It's worth a visit, but improvements could make it a standout.

Owner response

Robert we really appreciate your review and we are in the process of transitioning from the owner the kids are taking over and we're doing remodels and hopefully we can get our business back on track who would love to read to come back and check us out this summer

It's a lovely atmosphere; unfortunately, the food was very bland.
Even my margarita was bland and I upgraded to Cuervo.
It' breaks my heart to leave a bad review, for I want such a place to do well, but it just wasn't good.

This is the absolute worst Mexican food I have ever had in my life.
The chips are from a bag, the salsa from a jar, and the entrees were almost inedible.
The service was terrible.
They told us they only had one coke left and then they brought out a coke to another table.
The atmosphere is disgusting.
Dirty, smelly, and a roach in the bathroom.
DO NOT RECOMMEND!!!

Owner response

Here's a shorter draft reply: "Hi Sara, sorry to hear about your poor experience.
After decades of service, our owners are retiring and we're transitioning to new management.
We appreciate your feedback and are working hard to revamp and improve.
Please give us another chance to serve you better in the future."
