Great place and atmosphere. I've been twice and the food was great both times. Service was excellent by two different waitresses. Food also came out in a timely manner. Margaritas are also fantastic.

Tried to DoorDash something through this place, waited an hour just for them to tell me that they’re not taking orders anymore. How are they going to confirm my order and then say they’re not taking orders? Ridiculous, terrible service, F this place.

It was horrible and the food was so cold! And one of the waitress was rude she was not in mood to see us and this place is very dirty. And the nerve to give us cold food and give us attitude! I will never come back here again.

The main food was decent, and the chips were stale and cold. First time our family never ate the chips at a restaurant. The food looked great, and actually, we got it very fast even if it was a little cold, but not too bad. A bit concerning for me, it makes me feel the food has been cooked for hours and is now being heated up and served.Service was okay.While we are handed our menus, we are asked what we want to drink, and my family asks for 2 cokes and a spite. I had no idea the coke products were glass bottles, hence no refills. The Pepsi products are fountain and refillable. The waitress did not say anything. The menu is as big as the cheesecake factory. OMG... Prices were all wrong as well. I ordered 2 dishes that she said was 12.99=25.98 (6 tacos) and 2 items that were 14.99 =29.98 + 5.99. =61.95 + 4 drinks ?14.Some how the bill came out to 88.40+tax=95.68. It should have been 75.95 + tax.That's a huge price difference on menu vs bill. Then she didn't give me a receipt and told me to just pay, ummmm...what. can I have my bill. Not sure if the prices are higher also due to paying with a card vs cash, but I wasn't informed of that either. That's a big up charge for paying with a debt card. Wish I could find my receipt to upload. I will upload it, if I find it. Never again for us.
