  I have to admit, I was pretty naive and probably should have seen the red flags. They brought us chips and salsa, and everything seemed fine. Then they brought out some guacamole, which I honestly thought was complimentary or included with the chips and salsa. I thought, “Wow, how nice!” But when the bill came, there was a $15.69 charge for the guacamole. I told the server we hadn’t ordered it, but he rudely responded, “Why did you eat it, then? Why didn’t you send it back?” I explained that it was my first time there and I genuinely thought it came with the chips and salsa. After that, they tried to gaslight me and convince themselves that I had ordered it, which I absolutely did not. I suspect this happened because I literally only ordered an entrée and water, so maybe they feel the need to make up for it somehow. But please, don’t fall for this trap!

  Awful service. Awful food. The staff was rude and dismissive, so it did not make us feel welcomed at all. Mind you the place was empty when we got there. The beef fajitas were not seasoned whatsoever, and they tasted like roadkill. My friend said the same thing. It had a gamey flavor and looked like dog food. They also charged $1 for a side of lemons, which should automatically be provided with seafood, but I took it out of their tip. Definitely NOT returning since it’s my second visit and second disappointment.

  It is a small restaurant, but worth the wait! We enjoyed the Quesadilla con Carnitas, Carne Asada, and Bistec con Papas, which came with tasty Sopa de Fideo. I'm not sure, but I think the flour tortillas were homemade. Finished with Tres Leches cake. 😀
