   We sat outside and it was a beautiful evening. The food was excellent and the chips are exceptional but unfortunately the service was horribly slow. Waitress didn’t want to take our order until our drinks came out so needless to say it took over 1 1/4 hrs to dine

   This was our 2nd time at the restaurant in a 2 week period. The service was ok and the drinks took a while to get and they were not made correctly and needed to be sent back. We had 7 people and only 2 people really liked the meal. We would possibly try it again but only if not so busy.

   Nice area and outside dining was wonderful on a beautiful Dec. evening. Service was excellent and the taco salad was good. Margaritas small but okay.

   Overall, the restaurant was ok. We had a large group and ordered a variety of items on the menu. For the most part, the food did not have a lot of flavor or spices. It was not bad but not much flavor. This goes for the tacos, enchiladas, burritos, and fajitas (as I said, we had a large party). Decent sized portions for entrees. Drinks were a little on the light side. Waiter and servers were really nice and worked hard. The location is great if you are staying in La Quinta.

   Amazing veggie options in a hacienda setting, restaurant staff were very accommodating even though we were a large group (of 11) arriving just before the restaurant closed for the night. Loved the spresi martini and the Paloma

   We usually eat in the bar area and the service there is amazing. On this trip, the bar area was full so we sat in the main part, which was basically empty. Hopefully it was an off-night, but the service was embarrassing. All of the meals came out separately and there was a delay between each person getting their meals. In addition two of the three orders were missing part of the description. No apologies or fixing of the mistakes , which was disappointing. If we hadn't gotten decent service at the bar in the past, we wouldn't be coming back.

   Great service, fantastic food since ownership changed. (The only item that wasn’t amazing were the Al pastor tacos- they were fatty.) All other items we ordered were fantastic, even the chips!

   Our OpenTable booking was not managed well and we ended up being called by the restaurant on the day of dining to say the only spot for us was now 7:30pm from orig 6:15pm. Even tho I had confirmed a couple of times via text etc for the orig booking. The person on the phone said we would have an appetiser complimentary for our understanding. Which we appreciated the gesture. When we arrived at restaurant no one mentioned this. So we explained the story. Still received the bill without the app comp’d. Had to wait while a manager was called to explain all over again what we were trying to do. Pretty much undermined the whole point of showing appreciation. Extremely noisy. Seated in the corner by a very large group of about 20 people and so not the greatest night!

    Very slow service. 30 min to get a drink and chips. Wait staff wonders around doing nothing while customers wait for service. Food is very good but probably won’t be back as it’s not the first instance of similar service issues. Where is management?
