From the hostess stand to our server Cesar and seeing the manager on duty walk the floor and oversee the front and back of operations it was such an incredible experience like I was back in the city! Great personal service and a sever who was a true professional and just “knew” what the guest needed. Thank YOU! To the manager who was not fazed by my spirited children THANK you for making me feel welcome and not judged. The food was very tasty and well prepared. If I was going to get back into hospitality, I’d apply here. Such an upstanding establishment and well trained. Thanks times 3. :)

Tacos and margaritas were good. Elote portion was smaller than I expected but delicious. We arrived at 5 pm and it started to really get busy around 6 pm. Large indoor seating space.
