    Restaurant was very clean and service was outstanding. We had Alfred as our server and he knew pretty much everything about the menu. Table was packed with plates and we did our best to make space. Alfred did remove plates, that we deemed unnecessary, in a timely manner. At the end of our meal he had basically cleaned off the entire table of plates and debris and only left our glasses we were still drinking out of. He even replaced our coasters and crumbed the table, using his “special tool” which we all had a good laugh about. We will be back and will be requesting Alfred for any future visits.

    First time here and we will definitely be back! We sat at the bar while waiting for our table to be ready, I have a super sweet tooth and the bartenders customized a drink just to my liking. Our server, Alfred, took amazing care of us. He was super attentive and made sure our table was always clean and our drinks were always full. He gaves us great recommendations and made this experience positively wonderful. Highly recommend for anyone who loves TexMex as much as we do!
