Decided to give this place a try because I was in the area and WOW! I'm SO glad I did. The food was outstanding. The service was amazing. I was worried about the pork chop being to spicy for me since I have a low spice tolerance but ordered it anyway. The amazing waiter brought out a small bit of the sauce they use for the pork chop just to make sure I could handle it. Five stars...highly recommend!!

Beautiful place, good food and good service. Their cocktails menu has no prices. I ordered something that had their restaurant name in it. Turned out to be $40. Better ask before ordering.

Short version:Great atmosphere, good apps, better entrees, good drinks. Never ordering a super again ? ask prices first. Lesson learned.Long versionFirst the environment.We sat outside, but it was VERY active and exciting inside. You can see from the window and hear from outside, the music, the bday celebrations, and especially the karaoke. The decor is fun and the servers are so sweet and for the most part attentive. Here and there it took a little time at the end but it was packed inside so we understood.FoodThey gave such Big servings (more so especially with my dish) and it was delicious. The drinks were fine (I had the one with the gummies in in and the grand marnier). The other drink we were shook! It had the moth larvae in it? I was good on that but just took it out and kept it moving.Now....the big drink (super margarita?) in my pics was DELICIOUS (I love passion fruit lol) But Always ALWAYS ask price before you buy unless u got it like that (i dont ?) I was in charge of 2 of those drinks (we saw on Google images and wanted to try)When I got my bill I nearly fell out my seat ? ? ?. I would have rather eatin that larvae and I'm scared of bugs ?It cost me a lil under 200, not including tip, for 2 super margaritas. I took care of it of course but yea...lol.So I'd come back definitely but yea, that one hurt...I wish i knew beforehand.

I really enjoying the energy in this place. Everything is loud and there is even karaoke. It’s a nice place to have a laugh or two and maybe test you’re singing capabilities. The food was enjoyable. I had a Steak Burrito and it was incredible. A flavor that I cannot forget, but the nachos were a sequel to the Burrito. The portion is smaller than expected. But, there is enough steak for 8 people on that dish. The staff was welcoming and attentive to everyone. The only thing is the wait time for the food. Although, it was delicious, the time to wait was way off for all the dishes. Some people would be eating and the others are still waiting. Other than that I will be returning here! 10/10!

Steak enchilada. Atmosphere and presentation is wicked. Happened to go on a karaoke Monday and it was outstanding. Has some $$ food but also incredibly tasty $ food. Drinks were immaculate as well. Worth a stop.

My favorite place for delicious meals and best margaritas in the neighborhood. Visited this place several times for family birthday celebration. Never disappointed. Staff is also very friendly. I highly recommend this restaurant.

Went in for a birthday dinner and stayed for over 3 hrs enjoying the ambiance. The lady live performance was on point and kept the guest entertained. We will be back and try other food from the menu. I had the churasco tacos and we also had chicken burrito meal.

Very good place to eat and drink Tex-Mex food and beverages. Colorful, clean, cordial staff. Fair prices. It worth a visit.

My boyfriend and I went out to eat and when we arrived we parked on the street nearby. When we walked in we walked into a packed house. They had karaoke and a lot of birthdays. We decided to sit at the bar and Marilyn was our bartender and she was great. We started with our drinks and I got the red sangria and it was tasty. For my meal I got the vegetable fajitas and my boyfriend got the salmon. Both meals were very good. I sang a few tunes off key while I was there but it was a good time. I enjoyed my time at the restaurant and would return.

It's a picture worthy, but the food wasn't so great :/The rice and beans had no flavor. The only good thing in the picture was the chicken burrito. The Jamaica drink wasn't it; it just tasted like sugared water. The only good thing was the cute heart-shaped straw.The service wasn't bad, nor was it good - our server disappeared, and we had to ask others for things we wanted. Towards the end , we had waited 20 minutes just to get the check.
