Had a wonderful dinner here with friends on a busy Thursday night.Get here early, or make a reservation.The aesthetic of the building doesn’t scream Spanish Restaurant, but it’s comfortable and dim.The fresh chips and salsa are great.We had many rounds of margaritas, all consistent.The menu is vast and fair for the location and portions.We spent over five hours here and our server was constantly filling drinks and taking good care of us.Thank you for a wonderful dinner.
Parking wasn’t bad, but I might have gotten lucky.Worst case scenario, you park a 4-5 minute walk away. Was sat immediately.The place is HUGE.Don’t think that it’s not worth going if you don’t have a reservation. By huge, I mean 3 expansive floors, an outdoor seating area, and an indoor rooftop deck. I sat with a friend at the table furthest from the rooftop entrance.Cool view of the strip outside, and close to the bar. The food and drinks came out alarmingly fast.I had the crab and shrimp quesadilla, which quite literally came out in 4-5 minutes. The quesadilla had a good meat to cheese ratio (40:60) and was portioned well.It wasn’t soggy, which a lot of quesadillas have problems with, and paired well with the tomatoes, jalapeños and guacamole that came on the side.10/10 The chips and salsa that came on the house were standard.The chips could use seasoning, and the salsa was the watery type, which isn’t my favorite.5/10 The strawberry daiquiri was delicious- light, flavorful and fresh.10/10 The lemonade (with lime added) receives the same regards.Fresh, the right amount of tartness and sweetness.10/10 My friend’s review stats: Quesadilla- 8/10 Margarita on the rocks- 10/10 Chips and warm salsa- 9/10 Service was efficient.
We brought my mother-in-law and her husband here while they were in town & we were impressed! The restaurant is HUGE.Decor is fine.Service was wonderful- we were checked on several times and the food came out at a good pace. The food was YUMMY.We shared the ceviche crudo, gambas al ajillo which were my fave- the crispy garlic on top was unbelievable, the maduros and the fried calamari which was light and crispy.We also got the seafood enchiladas which were PACKED with perfectly cooked scallops and shrimp & the fajitas.And of course a couple rounds of their famous Swirl frozen margaritas. I’d definitely come back! The menu is huge.Like a New Jersey diner huge.So there are soooo many more things to try.
