I was going to give this place the benefit of the doubt, as this place is clearly understaffed, but this was an overall terrible experience. Waited 30 minutes for a table, then waited another 15 for our waiter to show up, just for the waiter to go away for another 10 minutes, and then comes back to take our order and drinks. Took 30 minutes to get queso and our appetizers. The queso was almost water like and did not taste like usual visits. Then, another 25 minutes latee we get our food. It was not good. The photos I put speak for themselves. They also forgot a spoon and took over ten minutes to get me a spoon again. And when I opened the napkin it was in, it clearly wasn't cleaned. As we left, the staff seemed bored and some didn't seem to care. Now, I'm sick because of this food. This was an abysmal experience for me and my family. We won't be returning for a while, but may give them a chance in the future. Look at different options in the area if you're looking to eat somewhere.

Horrible horrible experience!!! The food was cold , service was tooooo bad, we had to wait 15 minutes for the silverware and the food was beyond edible. Will advise everyone to stay away from this location( Brunswick ) the salsa bowls were dirty from all sides with dried out salsa stuck on it, the server had no manners and was wearing a dirty shirt and put our drinks on the table while holding them by the rims. We left the half eaten food right there and wanted to leave but had to wait another 20 minutes for our check, it was a nightmare!!!!

One of my favourite restaurants in US. Excellent service and food and Margarita ❤️

Great time at this place. Kin the manager was very accommodating. He came over to chat about this and that. Thanks, Kin, for the last round. We appreciated it. We will be back.

This resturant was in need of a good sweeping. The server Jessica was very good 5 star. The food was very average. The chicken on the salad came cold. The carna steak was cook well but was very bland in flavor. The chips and salsa were excellent. For those reasons we gave it a 4 star.

Perfect place for dinner with friends or family. The food was pretty good, but felt like options were limited for vegetarians. However their dips are excellent, also the staff is super friendly.

great food highly recommend

Such a lovely experience to dine in here. Frozen Margaritas are the best along with chips & salsa.Love the fact that they accommodate vegetarian friendly options in almost all their dishes. Definitely recommend this place

I had the Monterey Chicken Ranch fajitas & they were awesome!

So It’s safe to say the food quality seems a bit different from what it used to be or it may just be me? Although we did go super late that may play a factor in the food. None the less I did still very much enjoy my meal & the drinks are ALWAYS great!
