HORRIBLE SERVICE. Understaffed and have no idea what they are doing. Don’t expect to order more than one drink or more than one round of food. You’ll never have the chance too. They just come by with a bill and say here!

Every single thing we ordered was delicious. The Brussel sprouts, short rib quesadilla, elotes and the drinks were all on point.

Excellent food, drinks, and service. We had their brisket quesadilla to start, which was very large and delicious. Whole fish was also excellent, but even after being filleted, had more bones than we expected. Drinks were on the pricey side. Daiquiris were delicious, so we had a bunch. At $20 each, that got expensive.
