    Food and service were both wonderful. Really enjoyed the desserts, too. They were so good, and the flan with the cotton candy was very whimsical. Loved it and will be back.

    Food was great as always. The server seemed annoyed, it was not busy so I’m not sure why he had an attitude. If it were my first visit it might deter me from coming back but in the past our other servers have been wonderful, so we’ll be back and hope we aren’t in his section.

    By far, one of the most amazing Mexican restaurants I’ve ever been to the mariachi was honestly the best I’ve ever heard clear music

    The food is always good, and the service is fine. I appreciate that they offer vegan options—definitely a plus! However, the tables were extremely crowded. It felt like they added too many, making it nearly impossible to walk around comfortably.
