    Tableside Guacamole was great. Food was otherwise good but nothing memorable. But the worst part was the margaritas which was basically watered down lemonade. We had to order tequila shots to add to it and we are lightweights.

    Awful experience. Short staffed 3/4 empty restaurant. I ordered shrimp tacos and they were out of shrimp. I countered with steak tacos. Suppose to come with rice, they were out of rice. They told me I had to substitute the side, I said ok I’ll have the Street corn, they told me it would be a 2.50 upgrade ???? When I tried to reason with the waitress, she just said “that’s the way it is “ “do I want it or not” ? Needless to say there are plenty of options of restaurants to choose from. I will never be going back. Also had very poor service during dinner. Trying to wave anyone down for more drinks, water or anything else. UGH !!

    It was a mid week dinner time. The place was almost empty. No detectable tequila in the margaritas. Food appeared to be heated up pre-made frozen food. No taste and lukewarm. Service poor and slow but likely not the servers fault. I wouldn’t go back. We wanted to like it but so much is missing.

    This is a nice local restaurant run by college students. I don’t think I saw anyone over 20 working. They all seemed very overwhelmed as it was busy with a few big groups. That being said, the food was very good and our server was very nice. Just seemed a little chaotic and made us feel for the wait staff.

    The hostess could not find our reservation and would not seat us, so we had to make a second reservation for a table. This was very confusing since the restaurant was half empty.

    Our server was wonderful and the manager came over to ask how everything was, which was great. The tacos were very good. The only things I had an issue with were the very sticky menus and sticky table, and the outside ground area where we sat seemed a bit dirty and shabby.

    Food was really good. Servings were generous and we all had a great lunch. The chips, salsa and guac were really good. Next time I want to try the ceviche
