    The chicken tortilla soup was great. Generous portion of chicken for the price. The large tortillas chips were so greasy. Had the short rib tacos, stale tortillas, tough dry meat with no flavor. Not at all worth price at all.

    Best non-traditional Mexican food around. Fabulous service. And don’t forget to munch on the tortillas & dips before you get your food. Great value on the water!

    Somewhat overpriced for the quality of the food, maybe we ordered wrong. Skinny margs are not skinny, when asked to get it without syrup and agave, was met with pushback. Willing to pay extra to receive what i ordered…. They were busy so we may try it again in the future to enjoy the view. For now, there are better options for high end Mexican nearby.

    I’ve had better culinary experience at this location in the past. This time everything was average from the food to the service. Not bad but not stellar. Nice ambience and a friendly hostess.

    We had reservations for 6 and we were not seated until 6:20(although there were several open tables). t I took 15 minutes for our drinks to come. We ordered table-side guacamole which was delicious but did not have chips to go with it and had to wait 10 minutes for the chips to enjoy . We were there for my son’s 25th and my daughter’s 20th. VERY disappointing service . The food was AMAZING though.
