“Everything was great. Atmosphere was amazing. Drinks took awhile and my friend whose birthday it was never got her second drink. And when it was time to pay I wanted to leave a little early so I had the waiter split my bill plus the birthday girl's drink and he ended up charging me the remainder on my card which was $130 instead of the $68 eventually we put everything on my card and had two transactions on my card instead of voiding it and having that amount pinned on my bank account. For what it's worth if this happens to you especially if you go in a large party remember that it is best to just zelle each other then void the transaction and have multiple pending transactions on your bank account. I was a little disappointed that all the waiter wanted to offer was to void the whole thing because as a server myself I know that this causes multiple pending transactions. So from both the customers point of view and the servers to make your life easier and theirs remember that nobody's perfect and mistakes can be made and if you can take the initiative to lead your group so that the money isn't lost in cyberspace so that not only the bill gets paid but everybody feels like they put a fair amount in then your experience will be a good one even if it seems like it's going south. So in conclusion I ended up staying a little bit longer than I wanted to but I felt like this was an experience that had to be shared and I hope this is helpful for people in the future.“

“Love coming here. The service is always great. We always seem to get Pepe but he’s so nice and attentive so we don’t mind. The drinks are really good too both the alcoholic and nonalcoholic ones. My husband says their pina agua Fresca is the best he’s ever had. Plus they have vegan options that’s why we go, their vegan ceviche is chefs kiss! Plus they complimentary chips and salsa are amazing as well. I would definitely buy that salsa to always have at home.“

“Came here on a Friday evening with my bestfriend. (We needed a drink) We walked up and were immediately greeted. It wasn't a busy night so we were offered Bar seating, indoor, or patio. We chose patio as long as we can get a heater. Our waiter PePe was very nice and explained items on the menu very well. (Bestie and I always refer back to yelp for pictures and reviews anyway) The restaurant was nice, artistic expression everywhere. Very Boho. I ordered the 2x1 Classic Margaritas on the happy hour menu. I usually change the tequila, but i wanted to try the drinks the way they make it since this was my first time, so house tequila it was. The drinks were soooo good! Wasn't the strongest (which is fine) but the mix was literally perfect. My Bestie got the TamarindSpell. Im not a big Tamarind nor Chili with my drink type of girl, but her drink was really really good. Very surprising. Lol i think it got a little overwhelming at the end but she really liked it for the most part. The chips and salsa came out around the same time, which the salsa was pretty flavorless to us. It tasted like flavorless blended stewed tomatoes. My bestfriend asked if they had a green salsa to go with her tacos, which tasted wayyy better with the chips. I ordered the GoberNader (3 shrimp tacos) also ordered the Langostinos. Both were extremely good. The Langostinos comes with the full head attached but cut in half. Flavor is similar to a crab boil. The cucumber salad is just cut cucumber, a couple of pickled onion, and hot sauce dabbed on top(not exactly a salad, but i like cucumber so i wasn't complaining). My tacos were really good, i didnt really need any salsa, but i die for guac on my tacos, so we eventually ordered guacamole. Which the guacamole wasn't bad, i thought it needed a little salt & maybe pepper. Bestie ordered the Kesabirria, she liked them but she definitely asked for the green salsa on the side. Overall, really good place. Will probably come back with the rest of our girlys. Give the drinks another run!“

“I’m a Marine Corps veteran. Hadn’t been is this place for about 6 years. From what I understand it’s under new management. Went with a fellow Marine veteran. Food wasn’t at good as before, neither was the menu. But our waitress Marisol was awesome. She made our night.“
