Ok, I went here for lunch on a Saturday.
Place was quiet.
Sat on the rooftop.
Very chill.
Jackie, our waitress, was awesome.
Food came fast.
Chips and salsa while we waited.
I had the Mexican Meatloaf.
It was really, really good.
Mexican.
Mexican mashed potatoes to go with it.
It actually tastes better and better as I ate it! The corn was kind of tangy but it went really well with the Mexican Meatloaf.
It's a little on the pricey side.
But the food I got was excellent.
I can't imagine expecting more out of a restaurant....except cheaper prices.
Ha!

Thank you for your review, feedback, and a 5-star rating.
We are delighted to hear you loved the Mexican meatloaf, loaded mashed potatoes, and street corn.
Please come back and visit us again soon.

We arrived and sat at the bar.
It took about ten minutes before anyone took a drink order.
When the bartender took our order we ordered food as well.
It was several more minutes before drinks arrived (canned beer).
It was another 20 or so for food to arrive.
We never got chips and salsa, and no one even stopped to check if we needed anything to ask to order some. The stuffed iron burger and fries were good.
My honey had the shrimp tacos, also very good.
Seems the kitchen has their stuff on point but the rest of the folks, not so much.

Great food! Great drinks! Waitress seemed annoyed to serve us one second, fake politeness later.
She even warned (judged) us when we ordered our meal that if we ordered the (very yummy) tableside guac we wouldn't get it until after our entree so we should wait to order the entree...
um no thanks.
Took you 30 min to get back over to the table...and it wasn't that busy Also, came on a Sunday late afternoon for the rooftop and it was closed (because they "only open it on weekends....
except they closed it that afternoon").
But people watching by the window was at a premium! Definitely worth a return but probably will sit at the bar to avoid the snark! Top rec? The wranglers were amazing! And the Chile rellano was phenomenal!

Thank you for your review, feedback, and a 4-star rating.
We are happy to hear you enjoyed the Wranglers and Chile Relleno and apologize for the service.
We look forward to your return visit.
