   Not worth the hype. We made reservations to celebrate our first wedding anniversary. Saw plenty of tik toks about the place so we were excited. We got sat down 15mins past our reservation time. If we had not shown up, they would have charged $20 per person. Our server didn’t come to the table until we called someone for attention. We ordered drinks and appetizer and dinner. Husband got the dos cuidados and I got the camarones calavera, both were brought to the table cold. We were going to order the calavera dessert but decided not to. Place is good for the music and drinks. They make a big show for pricey drinks. The table next to us ordered around the same time as us and their food was not brought to their table at the time we left. Parking is also $10, guess that’s the best thing. Do not recommend. Only for pictures.

   The place is very very cute. The food though wasn't as tasty as I would have liked. The guacamole was bland, the steak was bland and chewy and the tacos were sub par at best. The Alfredo was perfect which was unexpected. I appreciated the birthday menu for my son and the singing. Overall it was definitely a vibe and we got great photos just won't return if I'm hungry.

   Fantastic service by Aracely! Phenomenal drinks with excellent presentation. We had the ceviche and the dos tipos de cuidado which were both out of this world. Amazing flavor. Exciting atmosphere with great entertainment.

   La comida deliciosa pero el servicio al cliente, la atención por ser una ocacion especial (como el cumpleaños) no fueron para nada atentos desde que hice la reserva hasta que nos fuimos, no es nada especial, no recomendaría el lugar para hacer una actividad de estas (cumpleaños) en especial si es para un hombre, pero si es para pasar el rato de manera social está perfecta

   Highly disappointed in our experience. Social media definitely gives off a different experience. We had a party of 18 and were sat at different tables making it hard to mingle with our group. Prices are HIGH for the quality and quantity of food you receive. We had 5 chicken Alfredo’s and every pasta chicken was burnt. 5 taco dinners, beans and rice and tacos warm/cold. If you cannot accommodate a big party you should not offer it. We specified we were there for a birthday. Nothing was personalized like they show on IG. We also did not get the hyped birthday celebration that others tables did. This place is good for photo ops. Food is basic prices are overrated. What restaurant does not have a diet pop option for customers? What Latin restaurant does not have salsa? And why do they give you a small bowl of chips for guac? Very disappointed and would not recommend this place or return.

    My wife and I enjoyed the overall experience, food was delicious, ambiance was great and the music was an added bonus. The only minor I would be the tables for a party of 2 being so close to one another. Maybe having a little more space between tables would be better, but other than that we were very much happy. We will definitely be back.
