Love it here! Great atmosphere, margaritas, and food. The birria tacos were the best I’ve had, so good!! And they have a great taco Tuesday deal.

I came in for a show last night to check out a friend playing and had multiple interactions with an aggressive bouncer that completely ruined the atmosphere of the venue.I had my vape confiscated before I was allowed to enter the building, which I thought was odd considering I never used it in approximation of the building. He flashed his jacket to me showing he had well over 20, $20 vapes in his collection. Even after than that initial red flag, I entered the restaurant.I ordered a couple drinks, after spending $40 on two bad margaritas, I noticed the bouncer from before, interrupting the dj in the middle of a transition (from one song to the next song) to confiscate a vape…I didn’t understand why the staff would be aggressive towards the person providing the entertainment for the evening, which left a sour taste in my mouth. I left shortly after, and didn’t have my vape returned. I won’t go back and neither should you.Food 5/5Service 2/5Atmosphere 0/5

We came as a large group and all of the food was absolutely delicious! The drinks are creative and well made. All ingredients tasted fresh and the food came out quickly.

I would give a zero star if i Could I was so excited to go to this place because of the photos I have seen on instagram once I got there I had regretted it. We were sat down, It was a party of 4. A male server named Rafael took our drinks and said he'll be right back to take our order. We had placed with him an order of the guacamole and chips, He disappeared we never saw him again . The guacamole came in an hour later with no chips and gooey pieces of pork yuck and the drinks came an hour and a half later by different people , That's when another server came saying she would be our new waitress that if she could take our order.I told her yes, please because we were already hungry. And had to eat guacamole with no chips. Because they forgot to bring it. We ordered our food which came 2 hours later, we were ready to leave the server came back and asks us Do you want "churro's or a red velvet cake" those exact words me thinking they were trying to compensate us For the extremely long wait a lack of attention they gave us. We said sure either or. she brings the bill when we look she Had charged us for the dessertAnd The guacamole regular price, even though we didn't have the full app, she then proceeds to tell me. Would you like me to bring you the chips now? as a funny remarkI would never recommend this place to anybody.

Average food, terrible service. Things came out weirdly out of order, we had to check in on one person's drink since they only brought out 3 out of the 4, and didn't get it until a solid 15 minutes after the rest of us got ours. Same thing happened with the entrees. Queso came out 5 minutes before the chips, and the salsa didn't show up until a random point during the meal. We also had to flag down the waiter any time we wanted to order or get the check.

Took over 20 minutes for a waitress to get to the table, at which point I finally got the chance to ask for a menu as every waitress whos attention I tried to get beforehand had completely ignored me. I ordered an appetizer and after asking the waitress twice to check on it, it did not come out until after I was done with my entrée over 40 minutes after we had ordered it. In all fairness the food was ok however for the price the serving sizes where rather small.
