Antonio our server was amazing. The appetizers we ordered came out so fast we were still placing our taco order. Our 2 and 4 year old enjoyed playing with the foosball table. Tacos and margaritas were good. Elote portion was smaller than I expected but delicious. We arrived at 5 pm and it started to really get busy around 6 pm. Large indoor seating space.
