I was so amazed. I have Celiac disease and since diagnosis eating out has been at best a challenge and at worst a nightmare. Some fellow Celiacs suggest eating here so that’s what I picked for my birthday supper. It was so good. The waitress was extremely knowledgeable about what I could and couldn’t eat and not once did she make me feel bad or like I was making her work harder. She was so great the entire experience. The food was delicious, the Habiscus margaritas went down way too fast lol and I even got a candle and Happy Birthday song. I will be back!!!

Had a reservation...waited a long time to be seated and left frustrated. Asked to speak to owner....he just stood there and let the server serve her attitude.We have always loved this place but would be hesitant to return.

Excellent service and food. Parking not always easy and prices a bit high..... but you do get what you pay for.

The food was good and music lively too. Our waitress was amazing BUT it took 30 minutes to get the cheque! Perhaps they should hire additional staff, to make things easy.

Food took forever to come out and was unevenly heated, obviously had been sitting under a warmer for too long. Chips were stale and salsa tasteless. Server was absent and food was overpriced relative to the overall experience.

Food and service are always great.

Went to Quintana's with my kids for a meal out...very disappointed. Ordered Loco Nachos with toppings on the side. Order came with twelve...yes twelve...nachos chips with cheese and hamburger on them. For $19. When I asked the waitress if this was it, she told me that it says twelve chips on the menu, as if it was my fault for ordering them incorrectly. It doesn't say twelve chips on the menu. If she had said that it was only 12 chips I would not have ordered them. Nevertheless, we plow through twelve chips like nothing...and the kids are left hungry from three chips each. Then on to the main courses.Ordered three kids meals from a menu that is only available on the website. No worries about online menus- the way of the world right now. Says $7.99 for kids meals. When we receive the bill we were charged $9.99 for each kid meal. Ask the waitress about the price difference and she says that she will get "Tom" to answer because she just started in August (it's October when we went. Note to owner- if she doesn't know the menu by now she never will). Waitress says it says "prices subject to change" on menu as justification for the difference. I've experienced this before in shady restaurants in third world countries.After a mediocre meal I speak with the owner, who was pleasant enough but offered no compensation other than his card and asking how we could make the next visit better. Dear owner, there won't be a next visit. And, you need to take a hard look at the servers you have working right now. The one that waited on us was absolutely terrible.Recommendation: stay away. Run. For another restaurant.

food was ok. but we unfortunately had a server who had no prob encouraging outdoor eating since it was full. the British server came our 5 times while we ate. we unfortunately never saw our server though. so my son who was froze couldn't get his desert ordered so we had to pay for it and leave since our server never did come back out. food solid 7, service 0.

Wide selection of gluten free options and alternatives that can be offered; I believe only 3 or so menu items they said couldn't. Our server (Brianna?) Absolute gem and very cautious about making sure it was celiac friendly. Been 24 hours, no gluten reaction.

Ate there today. The food was very so so and the service was poor. Will not be returning.
