Can I give zero stars? I've worked in the service industry my whole professional life, and this was the hands down worst dinning experience of my life. For starters I came at 1:30 pm on a Monday the restaurant was empty. The hostess brought us through the restaurant as if she was lost. The music was so freaking loud I thought I was at a rave. It was rediculously loud and there was an odd putting smell of burnt HDPE 5 which is the type of plastic used in cooking and plastic bags. After a few minutes wait, a waiter came and mumbled something to me I honestly don't know what he said. So I ordered a drink, and after a while I ordered three tacos. Over the course of 43 minutes I noticed my server flirting with the hostess non-stop. I know this because they places me in a table next to the hostess stand. At 44 minutes we decided to get up and leave. Our server came running out the kitchen with the plate so I sat down. The tacos were ice cold, and the meat was grey. The fish taco I ordered wasn't cooked. If you want a place to get food poisoning while banging your head to bullshit fashion show runway music this is the place. Also

My food was delicious. My friend had the birria tacos and loved them. Her jalapeño margarita was ok but the food is very delicious.

Chicken fajitas had no seasoning at all. Had to return it for something better. Skirt steak tacos were really good!

Our server (Angie) was refreshingly awesome! She had great recommendations and kept checking on us. The food came out unnecessarily fancy because the taste was 100%! The owners put in a lot of effort into the atmosphere was well, you could tell they’re planning on staying in that location for the long-haul.

The food is delicious, the drinks are perfect, the atmosphere is awesome, and the staff is very attentive. The music was a smidge loud so you have to yell at the person across the table. But a great experience.

My husband and I decided to give this place a shot. We arrived around 6:30 PM on a Sunday. We were greeted promptly by the hostesses and were shown to the bar for seating (they asked if sitting at the bar was fine and we said yes.) Loved the ambiance/decor/vibe. Tons of places for snagging pics for social media, loud club-type music, and a really cool lit-up bartop. We sat for about 2-3 minutes before someone brought over some chips, salsa, and bean dip. Nothing special here- the beans were not hot (not sure if they were supposed to be or what), salsa was definitely bulk produced off-site, and the chips were lukewarm. The bartender took our drink order (2 top shelf Patron margaritas on the rocks). They were delicious! El Paso makes our favorite margarita but these actually tasted pretty similar. A win! We ordered the sampler and the corn and cheese bombs as appetizers. Omg- both amazing. The bombs were a bit too spicy for my liking but my husband proclaimed they were on point. The sampler tower was plentiful in pork rinds, quesadilla bites, flauta bites, corn, and jalapeño poppers with 4 different dippers to go with them. For our entrees we got the garlic shrimp with rice and steamed vegetables and the chicken fajitas with all the fixings. Again, all hot, flavorful, and delicious! We wanted to order the fried Oreos and the sopapillas for dessert, but after all that food and a total of 5 margaritas between us, we were full. We dropped a little over $200 which included a generous tip for our bartender, who was attentive without being overbearing. My one star dock is because of the women's restroom. 2 stalls- the regular stall's toilet was stopped up so I had to use the handicapped stall. There was NO HOOKS or a flat surface to hang my bag! So I had to awkwardly hold it in my lap. There's also no flat surface by the sink to put a bag in case you need to dig in it and freshen makeup, fix your hair, whatever. It was also really dark. So my hope is that they add some stall hooks and maybe a table or something by the sink so that ladies have a place to put their bags. Overall, we had a really great night here! It was busier when we first arrived but tapered off by 8 PM- maybe cuz it was a Sunday? We will definitely come back because the food and drinks were excellent, service at the bar was great, and we want to try those desserts!

Mediocre food, terrible margaritas (frozen and on the rocks), and the best part was the server who was training someone. The fried plantains were alright.This is your typical, trendy, spot, targeted at a younger crowd with neon lights for the social media crowds and very very low lighting.If you have selective/picky taste buds, avoid this bland spot.

Visited for a birthday gathering as part of a group. The table wasn't ready for the reserved time, so we waited 10mins - there is a bar to sit at while we waited.Service was good, and there are a couple of vegan options (tacos) which were okay, they needed some more flavour. The guacamole and plantain sides were tasty though!It would be good to have some more tasty options, as well as dessert.Vegetarian options: Some vegetarian and vegan options
