   I was excited to come but left unhappy. My wife and I arrived 15 minutes early to our 9PM reservation. We decided to check in and wait at the bar. They said they’ll come get us or text us. The bartender took our order then disappeared! 10 minutes go by and a new bartender appears. He asks if we’ve been helped and I told him yes but the other bartender left. This bartender made things right and made us an amazing Paloma and Guayabita. 10/10 drinks. It’s 9:15 and my OpenTable res went from “confirmed” to “now dining”, so we decided to go check in again since we haven’t received a text. They told us to give them a minute, then they seated us outside (after reserved inside, but didn’t care cause we’re hungry). We ordered the taquitos and meat/shrimp skewers. Taquitos came quick but it was 4 little bites and was underwhelming for the price. The skewers came WAY later after asking the waitress. The beef meat was TOUGH and lacked flavor. The rice was dry and again, the price was not cheap. I was eager to check out and leave. It was all UNDERWHELMING. What saved the night was the nice front desk, waitress, and new bartender. The vibes were fun and pretty. I’m hesitant to return and recommend this place. I’d recommend only for drinks at the moment. Side note: yes I only tried two small items from their new “revamped” menu.

   Service was a bit slow but there were a lot of tables. Food was cooked to perfection and the sauces were delicious.

   Had a party of 9 here for a birthday dinner reservation. Drinks were excellent but the food is 1/5. Steak was salty. The albóndigas were not good. Portions are pretty small as well for the price. If you’re a foodie don’t plan your party here.

   What a disappointment. Our party of 7 specifically chose this place for brunch to celebrate a 40th birthday, but it was by far the worst service I’ve maybe ever received. The food runner and the host couldn’t have been more delightful, but our server— horrible. He was completely absent and took soooo long to even come to our table to take our orders, bring our drinks, and bring our check. Our party was seated near the bar so we could see our drinks sitting there for at least 15 minutes, and the restaurant was quite empty, but our server was nowhere to be found. Our food came quickly and was delicious, but man! Our server had us leaving with the worst taste in our mouths. It was bad enough that at noon the restaurant was out of salsa, pescado, every flavor of mimosa except orange, AND the women’s restroom had no toilet paper in any of the stalls and there were no paper towels, I could understand that restaurants have off days. But with service this terrible, I will not be coming back.

   Oliver was our server and he was excellent! He was attentive and even though they were in transition of food items on the menu he was able to keep us happy! Will definitely come back!

   Margaritas were very flat and sour. They had no grand marnier. What? The raw shrimp appetizer was terrible and sour. The salsas just a bunch of “heat” with no flavor. The Guac skimpy and chips yuck. The pescado dish was overly acidic. I felt like I had just sucked on a lemon for the whole lunch. The carne asada looked better but really? $58 for carne asada. The space is very nice. But that is about it.
