   Our girls night out was very fun, food was great and people were nice! I had chicken tacos that were to die for. The 3-4 stars I gave was for the pricing, it is pretty high priced, 90$ just for myself included my chicken tacos and 3 short glass drinks….. also one of my drinks had a fruit fly sitting right on top. Usually I’m not one to complain but I asked for a new one. This is what bothered me…… they took the drink and the bar tender scooped the fly up with a straw, put the drink into a shaker, and put it back into the original cup and brought it back to me…… which was very upsetting….. just make a new drink….. I’m not asking for anything for free but 16$ per small glass drink with a fruit fly please just make me another drink…. Like cmon…. But other than that everything was great.

   They charged $14 for a kid's mocktail. They should be ashamed of themselves

   Great Fun atmosphere! Beautiful decor. Good lack luster. Bar service very slow. 30 min for 3 mixed drinks and a glass of wine

   The food and drinks were quite good and the presentations, over the top. The menu is very pricy, but the portions are large and definitely sharable, which I think is nice in order to be able to try a few different things. The main downfall is that the volume of the music is entirely too loud. You can not communicate with the people at your table unless you are sitting on the side of them and can scream into their ear. Also, the obnoxiousness of the flashing lights, loud chanting, birthday song, and shots, shots, shots song is definitely obtrusive to the diners that are there for a date night, or just for some nice food and drinks. The Barbarcoa Short Rib is a must try! We will be back just for that ad to try some of their remarkably appealing desserts. For those first timers, be prepared, very prepared for the noise. The restaurant defiintely caters to a younger crowd, although my husband and I are both mid fourties.

   Was excited to try the place. The interior is well done and fhe music is loud so all and all the vibe is trendy. Service was decent but the food was terrible and I mean really bad. The queso was thick as mud and the tacos were basically just a protein put on a cold small tortilla. I can do that at home. It was three of us, we shared three tacos, some drinks and a queso and it was $200. Won't be back.

    Food was awesome. Drinks were great. Barria tacos are a must try. Music really loud but I guess that work for some guest.
