So I have been wanting to come try this place for a very long time. I finally convinced my husband to try it with me. The service was great. Very friendly staff. However the food was very blah. We ordered the 6pc taquitos 3 chicken and 3 beef. The beef taquitos were good the chicken taquitos had no flavor. We couldn't even finish them. I saved them to bring home to my dog it was that bad. For dinner I had three combination plate of enchiladas. Chicken, beef, and cheese. The chicken and cheese enchilada was good but could've used more seasoning. The beef enchilada was very bland had no flavor same as The chicken taquitos. My husband was excited to try the chili Colorado. He was very disappointed. No flavor at all. He saved some of it to bring home and in his words to "fix it" and I must say he really did fix it. Lol he added seasoning and wine to it, and it was amazing! We also had a few margaritas. I started off with a mango margarita and my husband had a strawberry margarita. The mango margarita was just there. The strawberry margarita was made very well. My 2nd drink was the jalapeño margarita and my husband's was a strawberry margarita on the rocks. Those were better than our 1st round. Overall I'm sad to say we won't be coming back to this place. It just wasn't worth The $120 that we spent. I would have rather spent that money at Rodrigo's .

Sunday 5/8/22 No stars from me for this restaurant. I had to add a star for it to allow me to post. The star is for my kids❤️ We arrived, young guy said need reservations. My son and daughter spoke to him.He took my daughters name, 15mins later another family showed up with no reservations and he placed them at a table. I came into talk to him he said that since they were in front of him he let them in. He said he never talked to my daughter. I had my son and daughter come in and my son told him that he did as well as my daughter...this guy lied to his managers face. Manager said that if we came back at 1pm he would give us a table. We were there at 11am. We were literally outside the door entrance. They had others without reservations guy we spoke to had braces on. My husband's an executive chef,I never seen this done to someone b4...

Good News it was all tables were filled, but only had to wait 5 mins for a table. Chips were a bit stale. Drinks are good. Food is typical. Mole Enchiladas we're good, but chicken was dry. Steak Ranchero was tasty. We will come back

Host was very polite over the phone and in person. Love the hibiscus flowers on the outside and cozy outdoor and indoor seating. Some of the reviews worried us but our sever was polite and attentive. The food was tasty and the portions huge. We’ll be back. Thank for making our family night out a good one.

I want to know how much do you charge to reserve the banquet room

You will probably need to call them. I dont think they will charge for the back room if you have a reservation for it and your group will fill it.

Are they still gouging on the margaritas?

So the lunch time margaritas are back to 1.99 for lunch and the dinner ones 1.49?
