    Great margaritas and food! Very well priced in my opinion as well. Bruno was great and the Manager even stopped by to check in on our experience. Will be back for sure! Highly recommend.

    We had a great experience. It was my mother's birthday and this is the third year in a row that we celebrate there. They have a duet who plays the Arp and the guitar and they send Happy Birthday to my mom. The food is really good authentic.

    The wait was a tad long even with a reservation (but they can’t really be blamed that Valentine’s Day happened to fall on a Friday anyhow) Once we were seated we had waters brought out and our very friendly server took incredible care of my partner and I. The food was delicious and everything I hoped it would be, there were two live music groups walking around and playing great music as well which added great atmosphere. Overall I cannot recommend this place enough to anyone, I’m sure you’ll be seated much faster on a better night as well so I wouldn’t bet on knocking this place because of it.

    Food is greater; serving service was amazing, but the front desk ladies must decrease their attitude. When I got there I gave my name and got seated. But when my guests got there and asked where my table was (and they said that same name I said) front desk said there was no one there with this name and turned back towards my guests.
