   The food at this place was much better than I expected, it was excellent. They were very generous with the alcohol and the martinis were 🔥🔥🔥 The service was also amazing and very fast. Would definitely be a return customer and recommend this place to others.

   If you want Mexican food do not eat here. This is not only the worst quality “Mexican” food I have ever eaten, but one of the worst restaurants I have ever been to. The drinks were so sugary and did not taste good. The food was not good at all, honestly bad. My group had to send a bunch of things back to the kitchen. Quite gross.

   We love this place. But today our rice was pretty bland and my enchilada didn’t have much sauciness in the inside… All the sauce was outside. Overall was good, we actually thought the customer service was TOO much (sounds weird to say), but with the busser, manager, and 2 hostesses all asking us is everything ok all through the night we felt like our conversation was constantly being interrupted. Thank you for being so attentive though.

   My best friend and I had a great time as usual! We ordered oysters and 2 drinks. Our waiter was nice but the only problem was Yelp let us book the reservation at 9:45pm and the kitchen closed at 10pm. Thankfully we knew what we wanted so we ordered quick and hung out for a bit after our food came out. We will be back for sure just please update the correct hours. Thank you!! See you again soon!!

   The reason why I gave it a one ⭐️ for the review is because the restaurant technically does not accept OpenTable reservations. They were nice to honor it when I got there, but they do not accept it and I informed them if they don’t accept reservations OpenTable, then they need to close their account.

   Always a wonderful experience. Family and kid friendly. Ambiance and staff always on their A game and super nice. Food is wonderful and the Santa Monica location is awesome, literally across from pier for a nice walk after eating.

    Of the four of us, not one liked their food. We ordered chips and guacamole as an appetizer. It came out with our food, which was annoying. Overall for the price and the quality of the food, I can confidently say we won’t be coming back.
