    We’ve been a few times now and absolutely love it—it feels like they’ve worked through the growing pains. The food and drinks have all been excellent. The sangria is just as good as it was at the old place (when Renato made it!), and Robert’s margaritas are fantastic. I’ve ordered the pork carnitas twice—super tender, huge portions, and plenty of leftovers. The restaurant is beautiful, the service has been wonderful, and the staff is incredibly friendly. Can’t wait to dine upstairs—the view looks amazing.

    Went to check out a new spot for dinner. Vibes were great, got chips and salsa right away. Ended up ordering a margarita. It was like $14.. Pretty strong so that wasn't too bad. Got to the food and ordered a combo plate with a ground beef enchilada and chile relleno. Wife ordered a cheese enchilada and beef and bean burrito. Her order was wrong so she had to wait about 10 minutes for a new plate to come out. The ground beef was soooooo bad! Definitely didn't taste fresh. It was so fine and mushy, it reminded me of dog food. Once I got to the relleno, I noticed it wasn't spicy at all. Wonder why? There was zero chile peppers inside. Just a big ball of cheese, only smothered in green chile. $75 for 2 people for food and 1 margarita that didn't even taste great. I don't think I'll be back for the food but maybe for drinks in the summer..

    My family and I had high hopes for this restaurant, as the space is newly constructed/renovated and has an upscale feel and classy vibe. Unfortunately, the food was meh. The texture and consistency of the queso was thick and sticky like construction adhesive, and overpriced. The food was unexpectedly bland, especially considering it is Mexican cuisine. Worse still, when we ordered our dish, the waitress asked if we wanted it "with or without the jalapenos"--we affirmed we would take it with the jalapenos, only to find we were charged like $5 extra for them upon receiving our check. It's a shame the restaurant is resorting to cheap tactics like this to increase their profits, instead of just working to provide a great dining experience worthy of the space.

    Very disorganized. They seated people who came in after us first. After being seated, they called us about our seating being ready? They don't seem to have any systems of knowing when tables are available. The manager was running around clueless. I ordered beef enchiladas but it came out meatless. We really wanted to like this new place but found the food very mediocre with unreasonable prices. We may try this place again for drinks and a view but overall first impression was a miss.

    Absolutely loved this place! The food is fantastic and truly authentic, but what really made the experience unforgettable were the servers. Rocky and Ricardo are hands-down the best—friendly, attentive, and genuinely welcoming. They made us feel like regulars on our very first visit. And the authentic margarita? To die for. Perfectly balanced and easily one of the best I’ve ever had. Can’t wait to come back! 🌮🍹
