Went here a couple weeks ago for the first time an most likely the last. :/ Had the Enchiladas an they where so bland like not an ounce of seasoning was used an for the price point it was so not worth it. Also the atmosphere in the bar area seemed tense with a manager(?) over seeing the workers super close an it gave off a vibe ya didn’t wanna sit or eat around. I want to stress however the hostess & bartender where super nice just sad the food is lacking in flavor.

This place has a great menu and accommodates vegetarian and gluten free customers. We had a large party of 12 and everyone was more than satisfied. We had margaritas, apps, entrees and dessert. My son had the chocolate cake and says it was awesome. My niece, Rubyz,, took the pics for this review. I highly reccomend if you are in the mood for good food and a light hearted atmosphere.

Great service and excellent food. Started with chips & guac, strawberry marg and ordered chicken tacos for the entree. Outdoor seating on the patio was perfect.

Very disappointing, the quality food I received was definitely not worth the price I paid for 3 burgers and ribs. The burger was acceptable but the ribs were burnt and dry.

Great place to dine in and take out. Have been here several times while visiting the area and it's always nice to try new dishes based on what's in season. Can't go wrong with any of their mixed drinks, both alcoholic and non-alcoholic. Staff is friendly and we never feel out of place even though we aren't locals.

Graduation weekend. Menu e-mailed to me listed a welcome drink, when I asked the waitress about this she said, nope. Food WAY overpriced for what was served, very disappointed in the quality. Asked if the coffee was fresh, again nope and when I asked if they could make fresh, I was told they needed to finish up the old coffee first. So...no coffee. $48/per person plus additional $10 for steak. Ridiculous!! I've never spent this much money on such mediocre food. We will not be back.

From the chips to the entree, the meal was a complete disappointment. Unseasoned chips that were cold and definitely not made in house, at least not to order. I got the cauliflower steak and it was a joke. It was barely cooked and flavorless - not even a sauce. The bean puree it was on was cold. The roasted carrots on top were greasy and nowhere near roasted, they were steamed. For $18 I expect a lot more. Got a side of the local potatoes and they were gummy and gross.

Celebrated 23 years of marriage tonight. Shrimp ceviche, salmon & salad. 4 different margaritas- all amazing! Great service and our own fire table. We used to eat here when we met. It was a different Mexican place then. It’s still the perfect place for a celebration.

0. The manager is very rude. She needs to go to training. Service ridiculous. Food mediocre. I do not recommend going there!!! Plus very dirty.

Somewhat surprised by the menu that had very limited "southwest" choices. Having recently visited the southwest, I was expecting refried beans, rice, enchiladas, tacos, mole, guacamole, margaritas, etc. They were not on the menu. The best thing that we had was the brussels sprouts appetizer. Our daughter had the very disappointing mushroom fettuccini. The black bean burger was really good. Great service! We do understand how difficult it is to source certain things during these times and perhaps they used what they had. I would like to try it again and check first on the menu to see if they have changed it up and added more authentic southwest menu choices.
