    While the staff were friendly, the restaurant’s cleanliness left a lot to be desired—tables were sticky and trash was scattered across the floor. Our server was polite but difficult to track down, and the Mexican food itself was just average. With so many other options nearby, I wouldn’t recommend this place. MOST CONCERNING, the server altered our written tip to 25%. We disputed the charge with our credit card company, as we always take photos and keep copies of our signed receipts. Will not return or recommend due to this fact alone.
