The place has terrible service, terrible mexican food, is not kid friendly, charges for Chips and Salsa after the first round (don't worry it;s so bad you won't finish the first serving) is way too expensive and the wait for our food was excruciating. more

The friendly staff, the relaxed atmosphere, great drinks, good beer selection... more

They have very nice outdoor seating and the waitstaff for the most part was great. We were seated by a possibly new and very confused hostess. She seemed to be having some issues with some of the waitstaff (or vice versa) and they were not hiding their problems from the customers. Our actual server was very nice and attentive. Our... more

I enjoyed my meal here and found the menu to have lots of choices. They offer several types of Margaritas as well, in addition to other beverages. I started off with an order of the jalapeno poppers-- 4 jalapeno peppers stuffed with a cream cheese filling, beer battered and then fried-- served with sour cream. Aside from the pepper, I... more
