    Tried a new place. More of a bar for younger people. We are retirees. Wasn't buisy but service was slow. Food was dry but it was taken off bill. Not sure if we would go back. Just not our kind of place.

    We had Taylor on a relatively busy night, there were Christmas parties going on but food came out very quickly, she was super attentive. 10/10 would recommend she’s the sweetest!!

    Food was ok, little dry and not much flavor. But still better than Taco bell or Taco time. I had the Pinche Gringo, luckily I had it to go and used my own hot sauce. But I think I'll try again with something else

    Myself and two children came around 8:40pm for a late supper before heading to the hotel for the night. After a day of travel we were tired, hungry and wanted Mexican. The waitress (very long hair ponytail) promptly met us at the podium and informed us the place does not allow minors after 9pm (in 20 mins). While I understood the rules about minors after 9pm and was not an issue for me, it was her demeanour after this that left us feeling belittled and no longer useful for her (ie she won’t make a tip off us). After informing us that minors can’t be there after 9, She immediately marched off before I could say more. I had to call her back and ask if we were able to order take out instead? She said yes and pointed over to the bar. She walked ahead of us and proceeded to where the bar tenders were, however to my surprise, she didn’t seem to have the courtesy to let them know why we were there (again she had no use for us). The two bartenders just kind of stared at us dumbfounded and I had to engage them (again another push) to order take out (as the waitress stood next to them collecting her drinks). We placed our order, I asked for cutlery, and waited for about 10 mins at the bar, knowing we still had a few more mins before my kids would have to leave. After sitting at the bar for 10 mins, the bartender finally came over to where we were (at the end) and asked if we wanted anything to drink while waiting (yes, yes we would!). I politely informed him of the disappointment with the waitress and stated we would love water too, because even though we won’t be staying long, we are paying patrons too. Ive worked in the service industry many moons ago and I couldn’t imagine not giving the time or day to ppl who are purchasing your product. As a single mom with two children, I also couldn’t fathom treating others like second class citizens either, particularly in the presence of their children. It was 20 mins before the 9pm cutoff and we all felt like we were an inconvenience to be there from the get-go and staff couldn’t be bothered by us - particularly for a restaurant that was probably only at 25% capacity. This was a very disappointing and invalidating experience to say the least and certainly don’t recommend families go - even well before 9pm.
