We were seated at 7:25pm, we were not served our dinner until 8:30pm. Kids meal was ordered first, but we had to ask repeatedly to hurry for our kids meal, but still waited 45 minutes!!! Server completely ignored us, food was ok, not great. Tried to make things right with a tasteless churros dessert! But for having to wait over 1 hour for food is ridiculous. Manager seemed to care less, discounted our check, made excuses that they were packed, but didn’t make up for a disappointing dinner, and a bad dining experience. Obviously we will never return to this restaurant.

Kyler made a rainy night out on the pretty deck a lot of fun! Exceptional server who should be a manager!! Jackie was very kind to us as she worked the puzzle of seating well on a busy night.Arcadio was an amazing guitar player and we were so sad rain cut his playing short. Drinks were fantastic !The food here is great and served hot but our favorite was the dessert sopapillas which you usually can only find in Colorado and New Mexico!

Food was excellent but we could not hear each other talk. We had to practically yell to be heard. Ruined everything for us. Not returning for that reason.

We have been coming here every year for our wedding anniversary for the last 4 years. We always have a great experience from the service to the food. We celebrated our 4year anniversary last night and both our waiters were amazing and very attentive. They even gave us a special treat to celebrate which meant a lot to us. We highly recommend. -Familia Pagán

Lovely food. Recommend the ceviche and the Grouper. Desserts also amazing - chocolate mousse & pistachio cheesecake made by the Chef's mother-in-law. Inside a bit loud during dinner, would love to return and sit outside in warmer

Hostess was chatting with someone when we walked in and didn’t sit us for a few minutes. Service was good, but waited quite a while for some cold food. I’d shoot for another Mexican option if I were

We had a lovely dinner here. Nice southwestern theme and the food is very good. Great use of the sauces to add a little kick to each meal. The outrageous chimichanga was great and a little surprising with a chicken and beef mix. Great presentation. Green chile stew was amazing as well. Very attentive service as well.

Eight of us went for dinner on a Saturday. Half of us really liked what they had, and half thought it just ok. We had a waitress that just couldn't keep up. She was moving way too slow, and the bartender had to bail her out several times. When going to a restaurant that charges as much as they do for Mexican food (mostly), everything should be nearly perfect. Not so.

Okay this was definitely the best Southwest restaurant I have ever been to. The ribeye burrito was amazing with huge chunks of ribeye inside. I like the house margaritas too. We didn't have a reservation so we got put at the bar where you actually watched them cook the food. That was a great experience.

We had dinner here on the advice of friends. We did not have reservations and it was a cool night resulting in the outdoor spaces being unusable. Initially we were told there would be an hour wait, however, seats came up at the chef's table and we were seated there within 10 minutes. This was absolutely the most entertaining meal, not to mention, totally delicious meal that we had in Hilton Head on this trip. The 2 chefs manning the grills and prep station near the grill were awesome, friendly and fun to talk to. Our food was divine! I had grilled red fish with rice and a veggie medley. The chef asked about my preferred spice level and it met my taste buds perfectly! My husband had the pork tenderloin with wispy sweet potato fries on top and delicious black beans underneath. It was a whole tenderloin and we took some home to make sandwiches the next day! Highly recommend this place. We will definitely return to it when we return to Hilton Head!
