    Great service, birria tacos were probably the best I’ve ever had. The seasoning was amazing, and the meat melted in your mouth. You can taste that everything was made with fresh ingredients. Margaritas were great also, fresh and not filled with sweeteners and sour mix. We will definitely be back!

    First, on a Saturday night at 530pm, only one other couple was in the dining area, which was surprising. Second, our sodas were completely flat with no carbonation. The waitress admitted she told the owner there was a problem, but he dismissed her concerns. Third, after nearly 30 mins to get a steak fajita salad, the steak was overcooked, and the salad was a handful of shredded lettuce, diced tomatoes and a few avocado slices. My wife refused to eat her plate, but I did because I was starving. For $19, I told the waitress we're disappointed. The manager came over, and he offered to comp both our meals, which was a nice gesture. Fourth, when it came time for the check, the waitress came over and said "We can't comp the meals. We had to call to owner and he said "No." I asked her why did the manager even offer that if he didn't have that authority? Fifth, the fact that the 'manager' couldn't own up to it and tell us himself was insulting. We paid the bill and left in disgust for the terrible service.
