    Our waitress was very helpful and friendly, she recommended some favorites and was able to give us a half and half carafe for our mimosas. My 1st course (elote -corn bread) was very tasty and my salad was delicious and a very good portion. Will definitely go back to try some of their other meals!

    Just a thanks to Bria that served us so well with attention. Food was good as usual . On a not that bad note , we order a second bottle of wine that was on the special of the day . They didn’t have it saying we had only one . They offered us 2 other selections , we choose one . Was supposedly to get a discount or have it at same price than first one as per that assistant manager . Well we paid it full price and never received the promise discount . That assistant manager just disappear 🤷‍♂️
