There was nothing about this place that was inviting. First thing you get is of course chips and salsa which seems to be something that would be easy to get right. The chips were absolutely awful the salsa was good but watery. Place was busy and we had a large party by the time we got our drinks the ice had melted in them. Guacamole for some reason they leave small lime wedges in the mix so I bit into some lime not awful and not needed. I had short ribs on a bed of sweet potatoes it was tasty .I got some grilled street corn which was tasty bit barely warm. I just wasn't impressed by anything at this place and wouldn't return.

This place is New Mexican themed, with the dining room modeled to look like a Pueblo courtyard. The menu was mostly NM-inspired dishes and also had typical bbq sides to accompany the main dishes, which I was surprised to see. Thees meals were average, I’d say. The blue corn enchiladas were dry and only had a little bit of cheese on top. The plating was messy, with drips and food all on the edges. However, the salsa has some pleasant heat and the service was attentive and friendly, which added to the meal. I probably wouldn’t return, though.

Went to celebrate our anniversary and I’m glad we chose this restaurant. The food was delicious. We had shrimp spring rolls as an appetizer which had a little heat to them but were tasty. We ordered the NY Strip for our entrees and it didn’t disappoint. It was so full of flavor and mine was cooked to perfection. I love my steak well done and a lot of places will burn it. This steak was still juicy. I can’t remember our waiters name but he did an awesome job. My husband ordered a medium steak but it was more medium well. Our waiter walked by, looked at it and apologized offering to cook him another steak. My husband never complained and told our waiter that he was satisfied. The waiter offered a free dessert and apologized again but we turned it down because we literally had no complaints. I wish I could remember his name. Ashton, maybe? Thank you so much for going above and beyond. We sincerely appreciate it. We will definitely be back.

I really liked this place. Atmosphere food and service were all very good. Feels very homey in the place and the food did not disappoint. Highly recommend eating at this spot and also getting a reservation.

Good food & strong drinks

Was really loud and server was not very attentive.

Food was extremely bland. Had to add salt to everything. Enchiladas were dry with no sauce. Terrible. Margaritas and service were great though.

Dinner date with my friend

Never been disappointed with this place! Always look forward to going!

Very little waiting room at entry. Host didn’t seem to know the touchscreen seating app well. Party of 4 of us seated at very small high top despite multiple regular tables open for 4. And server wasn’t the least bit friendly at all. Margaritas were just ok, but food was phenomenal (short ribs and chicken enchiladas). Maybe an off night and hopefully can improve.
