The food is delicious. The staff is very nice and outgoing but the music is way too loud. Could not hold a conversation with the people at our table and we had to yell to order our food. Good for drinking and partying. Not so good for going out with the family.
Saturday night and the karaoke is extremely loud. Food is very salty. Drinks are exy. The waitress was very nice though.
3 plates same sauce. But nice service n good micheladas

I personally don't like places that have the music blasting when you're trying to eat. the food wasn't that good either.

Stopped by on a Sunday when it was pretty quiet, just three tables including ours. Right off the bat, the waitress was kind of pushy, trying to get us to order as soon as we got the menus. I noticed a table near the kitchen stacked with empty beer bottles and cans, looked like someone was already on their second bucket. Thought it was just some regulars having a good time early… but nope, turns out it was the staff. Both waitresses were drinking, and even the owner walked by without saying a word, meaning it’s a normal thing. Then the food came out. Honestly, it was one of the worst pieces of meat I’ve ever been served, tiny, super thin, very overcooked, and tasted old. The plate overall just looked sad. On top of that, my drink glass was dirty, the table wasn’t wiped down, and everything around us felt grimy, thick layers of dust everywhere. Meanwhile, the staff is just hanging out drinking in front of customers. Save yourself the trouble, there are way better spots to eat at.
My family and I went there on a Saturday. It was not busy. The waitresses were in the back talking, didnt seat us until I had to walk up to ask for a table. (No biggie) we were sat down on a booth as requested. We were visible to the waitresses. We ordered drinks and food at the same time. We drank our drinks while watching the soccer game. A different waitress came by to ask if we ordered already, I said yes. Didn't realized the time passing while waiting for the food. The same waitress that took our order came by and asked if we already had ate?? I told her we never received our food. Turns out they never put the ticket in the kitchen! We waited for about an hour!! At this point I was more irritated than hungry. Once the food came out the order was incorrect. They corrected that right away, but seem bothered by it. I asked for a to go box for my plate and as I paid I noticed the waitress that took our order was drinking a beer next to the register. We weren't hard to miss or forget about because we were the only bi-racial family in the restaurant. We won't be eating here again. Overpriced poor quality and bad service
First time trying this restaurant. And now that I read other reviews I understand I was a victim to of overcharged bill. be careful To begin with Bad service We ordered a aguachile 3/5 La casuela “parrillada” da de mariscos for 3 ppl the sauce wasn’t good 2/5 $50 Dozen of oysters they hardly had meat in them 1/5. $17 And a cooked shrimp ceviche plate 2 ppl $30 Everything was a little over priced except for the oysters which I thought was $17 But when I saw the bill I got overcharged and paid $40 instead and extra beer. 3 buckets $120 Shady nothing makes sense but for sure not coming back. Just pay attention at your bill. Especially if they think you had a lot to drink. My bill came out $300+ the audacity to rob you right in your face.
The tacos of carne adada are horrible no flavor on the meat an it was cold an rubbery. Each taco cost $3.75 + tax. Will never come back to this place or recommend anyone here. Syrongly suggest go elsewhere to eat tacos thats are fresh an not as pricey as this hole in the wall ghetto place.!
The worst food I've eaten in years. The meats were all poorly cooked and bland. There are so many better choices for Mexican food. Literally go anywhere else.
I give this place a -0 super rude waitres especially how the owner didn't say anything to her. That is unprofessional I really don't recommend this place.
