Absolutely Amazing! Great service. Our food was so delicious Amazing, presentation was an A+. Our server Ismael was phenomenal. Busboys were very professional and accommodating. Hostess/front podium could be more welcoming and friendly. I had to great them before they greeted me and on my way out I once more thanked them and said goodbye while the two young man sat there talking about life.

Very unorganized management. We showed up for our 8:00pm dinner reservation. Yet we were not allowed into the restaurant because they had to clean the table for us. Come on, don't bull$hit us. Just be honest. Great service and food was decent.

Yummy drinks and Mexican food. The margarita's were delicious. Come expecting to spend some money. Most things on the menu were always $20-30. Good service.

The location and drinks are great. Design and atmosphere rule here. Which helps with the experience but draws even more attention to what is lacking. The service is incredible. The drinks were well made and the dining areas just beautiful. The food was the only disappointment. (At a restuarant with these prices, that hurts even more.) The beef tacos were dry, the chicken enchilada bland. The cheese enchilada was good but at the $$$, not that good. So I might stop for appetizers and drinks but my meal with be elsewhere. If you are not accustomed to Mexican food and don't mind it mild, give it a try. The rice, beans and chips with salsa are a good start.

City of Irvine passed a law in June 2020: no smoking in the City. So no, you cannot smoke a cigar on the Patio.

Dino Roman | Aug 23, 2018
Ray Mclure | Aug 23, 2018

It depends, when I go its 2 pitchers of margaritas and a tablita. I only order the tablita with steak and carnitas. Its the best dish on the menu feeds 4 people. So right there is $200.00 which is nothing for a 4 top.
