The guacamole was small and not as flavorable as before. The LIIT was terrible, it was only margarita mix. There were no jalapeño that were pickled?! !

The food is great, nice place - however it is way too small to have amplified music. In an hour an a half I am completely hoarse trying to talk to my friends. And we sat as far away as we could. They were good, but the music should not overpower everything!

A huge thank you to the friendly and meticulous staff for making our evening truly special.

DELISH!!! Fantastic food and drink options. Service was great! It was midday on a rainy weekday, so I can’t speak to the normal volume but we enjoyed fairly quiet ambiance. Can’t wait to return and sit outside when the weather improves!
