    Was looking forward to trying this restaurant from the moment I booked our hotel stay at the Hilton next door. It is heavily advertised as "high end Mexican cuisine", but I am not sure why. The food was so so, the spicy margarita I had tasted weird, and the service was slow and made several errors. We ate on the patio, which was up and away from the street and well spaced out - but going into the restaurant to use the restroom, the space inside was not nice looking at all at in need of updates.

    This was the "Best" Mexican food. I do not know how anyone could complain about it. Maybe, they don't like Mexican to begin with! The price was very ready for the amount of food you get.

    Food was ok. Extremely overpriced for a fajita and a burrito. But I guess it’s locations

    The food was amazing and delivered quickly after we ordered! Our server was attentive and competent. They also offer a charge to room at the Hilton which was nice since we were staying there. The atmosphere was pleasant. Overall, the authentic Mexican food and the mood of the place made it a superior dining experience! I will eat here again!
