The food was delicious. We had Big Pescado Tacos with grilled fish and a side of beans and rice. The only reason I gave 3 stars for the atmosphere is there was a band playing and the music was way too loud for the small space. I'm sure they are great at an outdoor event.

Delicious! Amazing food each and every time. I recommend the fillete relleno – it's exquisite, just make sure you've worked up an appetite first. Only small drawback of this location is that the music is loud.

Amazing food! The service was great, despite all the other reviews trying to bash on the waitresses I saw them be polite and attentive to every table. I saw other tables staring the waitresses up and down, but it’s their job to dress like that and be social, if you can’t handle that don’t go out. We ordered camarones cucarachas and the ceviche Nice, everything was delicious!

My food was good and I got a good size plate for the price. It was very slow when I was there, but the waitress never came back to my table, which made my dinner experience bad because I needed a glass of water. I was really thirsty and had to wait until I was done eating because that's when the waitress finally came over.

I don't like this place the food is decent but the place is too small, too crowded, very very noisy, the service is bad, the girls are like robots just serving people but not smiling except to the guys but not the women, make sure you ask for your tequila on the side because that way you make sure you are getting TEQUILA.

Food was great. Music was so loud too loud I get it at restaurants like that are supposed to have live band, but not in a place that’s so small and crowded I’m so surprise all the waitresses can hear every order. We literally have to point at Pictures …wouldn’t go back there again.

Please be aware because the waitresses won't tell you!. If you go on festive day like mothers day the happy hour menu does not apply. Even if you show them the menu and point out the drink or food they will not tell you that it's not for that price/amount until you get the bill. Food was 👍🏻good.

You want to go deaf and lose your ability to hear and not enjoy your food, come here!! Unlike the horribly loud music with bad tuning on the trebble and base, the service & food was good. 5 other parties left before us in the span of 15min . This was a Saturday after 7pm. 1st and last time here!!

Went here because I've picked up food from here through uber eats. I invited my family and friends, for a total of 6 adults and 2 kids. It easily could've been a bill of $150. When we go out on Sundays to eat together we usually pay separately. As we sat down to eat I tried to tell the waitress that but she told me to tell her once we order. When she came to take my order my mom explained to her how we've be splitting the bill. From then on she started giving us attitude and even nodded her head back and forth in sort of disappointment for wanting to split the bill between 3 groups. She was very dry and annoyed in her tone. One of my friends also asked her about one of the dishes and she just spilled 3 words in regards to the dish no explanation at all on the ingredients. When she asked us about what we wanted to drink we were about to start telling her and she just decided not to and just to come back to once we were ready because it "be easier for her." I do understand that the way we were going to order was a bit difficult but she did not have to give us straight attitude from the beginning. This was our first time going there and to be honest I expected it to be a good experience as well as good food. In the end we just walked out and went to Costa Azul since we are regulars there.
