   Love the food here but the portions for restaurant week was smaller than usual. The kitchen was slow but they were pretty packed inside.

   Had to ask the server for silverware and a napkin. Then had to ask the server for a glass of water. Then had to ask the server if they could bring the drink I ordered to the table. Not worth the value at all. Once I received the bill, they added a 4% charge to the total with no explanation.

   Hi Andrew, Thank you for taking the time to share your experience with us. We sincerely apologize for the service issues you encountered during your visit. Our goal is to provide exceptional service, and we will definitely address these concerns with our team to ensure they don’t happen again. Regarding the 4% service charge, we’d like to explain that it goes directly toward supporting a living wage for all of our team members, as well as providing benefits like healthcare. We believe in compensating our staff fairly for the hard work they do, and this service charge helps us maintain that commitment. We appreciate your feedback and hope you’ll give us another chance to provide the quality experience you deserve.

   Carnita taco is the best, highly recommended! The container / bowl of tortilla chip is pretty, adding good vibes to the food party

   They were clearly understaffed. It took 30minutes to get our margaritas and we still hadn’t ordered our meals. The food was delicious and our server was pleasant, but the team was clearly too busy. For the price, we expect better service.

   The service was slow and we never saw our server very often. Plates were not cleared and the table was a mess.

    Took about 10 minutes waiting to be seated with a reservation. Hostess was missing in front, went inside and finally had to ask for a hostess. First impressions are everything! Server was very nice.
