    We took a chance from the reviews on open table. We were very pleased with the choice. The restaurant had an authentic vibe. The waiters entree suggestion was spot on. The best guacamole and chips I ever had. Everything we ordered was excellent. Will definitely go back.

    The service was quick and friendly. Food and appetizers were great. The Sangria sucked though. They didn’t have my dinner item on the menu but my second choice was good. A bit too dark for my eyes but I guess it’s meant to be romantic. Overall if your looking for a decent meal it’s ok. Even though I enjoyed the food not too sure I would tell people to go here. Wouldn’t stop you either. This review is a bit passive aggressive. lol. Oh well that how I feel.

    They do add 20% gratuity without saying anything. Read the bill. Waitress responded when questioned anything over $100 gets add on. Ridiculous!
