Ruined a good thing. The drinks used To be good - now watery drinks, Inconsistent pours (2oz wine poor for one, about 3oz for another). Menu changes and now has only about 3-4 real entrees, rest are tiny experiments in inedible food. Hostess strode in twice to deliver food with - I find myself being your personal server today (huh?). Hard pass. Need to find another good Mexican in the area.

Our food was very late on arriving. We requested the manager. She was lovely and apologetic and comp’d us drinks and food. But they were clearly overwhelmed. The menu is also over complicated. Street tacos, specialty tacos and reg menu tacos 🤯

Hi NoreenR - It sounds like you joined us on National Taco Day which was a little crazy :) I'm glad our manager took care of you and we'll certainly take your feedback to the team. Hope you'll join us again on a regular night in the future!
