This place asked me to leave prior to me getting my food (nachos with steak). I don't know if the dude thought I was on drugs or what. Whatever... That isn't my place to speculate becuz I aint in his brain. However, I feel discriminated against and although he has the right to refuse service to anyone he (the manager; who knows) neglected to provide me any explanation as to why I was being asked to leave. He offered me the opportunity to take the food to go. That is whack. If I am going to pay for a meal I am going to eat that meal at the establishment. That is what has been going on for many years now. To top it all off he decided to call the cops on me because I was occupying the public side walk. Apparently he feels like he owns that too. what a rude man that discriminate against protected classes. That is all I have to assume he was doing since he provided me no explanation as to why I had to leave. BYE never returning and I will take all my business elsewhere.

Legit spot on the main strip. We only had three tapas (cerviche, wings, and tacos) and a couple drinks since we were trying to hop around, but I wish I had stayed longer here. Great service and great food with a comfortable interior. Would 100% return again! Ps: The asada tacos are incredible. Definitely a must order if you visit

Heard bad things from back In the day due to the customers but went in and was surprised at how clean and well put together this place was and the male bartender is beyond kind and respectful and definitely knows his drinks, people there seem to be regulars but nice and friendly. The bathroom is a total vibe and loved it. It’s a hidden gem if you ask me and I come from major city lifestyle and this passed in my book

We came in last night, not knowing it was comedy night, and had a great time. While we didn't see the show, it sounded like a hoot. We ordered a round of margaritas and they were perfectly made! Delicious and well balanced. All the bouncers and bartenders were over the top friendly, happy and helpful. We really felt welcomed and at home. The bartender on the back patio, didn't catch his name, was so funny and made the birthday girls night. Great conversationalist, super attentive. The back area is great for chilling with drinks and people watching. Got really busy around 10, great music and dancing. Thanks for such a fun night!!

Security guards try to start fights with people for no reason. I had my foot out the door when and a security guard spotted me and tried to pull me off the street and back inside. I literally did nothing to provoke him. If I went to court I over it and got the security footage subpoenaed he’d end up in prison.

I broke my glasses in the bathroom (waaa) and the staff was very helpful and offered to glue them back together for me. They also shared some websites where I could buy cheap glasses from. Thank you to Bryson and Anthony! I appreciate y’all!! lol. <3

There’s a “security” worker who does nights here who may be the most unprofessional, power hungry, god complex having individual I’ve ever had the misfortune to experience. Last night, a group of my friends were in the back patio area and one of our group made the fatal, downright sinister move of bringing a propane heater a foot or two closer to our table, which got him a flashlight in the face and a stern talking to for basically nothing. A simple, “please don’t move the heaters” probably would have been sufficient, however the security god wouldn’t have been able to flex his power over a grown adult trying to be warm. I myself, and some others, tried to leave out of a clearly marked exit gate, with no “emergency only” sign or any discernible marking to indicate that it wasn’t a public exit. GI Joe was Johnny on the spot, shining his light in my face, and trying to treat me like an incompetent child, while we were just trying to leave the premises. Again, basically anything along the lines of “hey man, that’s not a public exit, can you please leave out the front” would have been more than enough to make me go out the correct exit. However, he was extremely condescending and extremely power hungry. It’s clear this individual has some sort of complex, and enjoys trying to ruin paying customers evenings. He also appears to enjoy hitting on much younger women patrons of the bar, which again is extremely unprofessional and creepy. If he’s capable of reading all of this, I hope you find a good therapist.
