My only complaint would be the loudness. The place needs noise baffles it was so hard having a conversation with my two friends. As our time continued the music would get louder to drown out the ppl trying to converse.Now let's talk about food & beverages. HOLY SMOKES! What a selection of beverages. If u leave thirsty, it's on u. Wow! Would love to see more white wine options, chardonnay is least favorite. Was pleasantly surprised their chard was not the buttery oak casked flavor that keeps me from ordering chard. This was crisp & dry (closer to grigio than chard).We ordered the crab enchiladas & shrimp fajitas. Neither disappointed. The portions were enough for two ppl to share if ur looking for something to tie u over while u enjoy a happy hour thirst quencher. Extra internet bonus points for having truly vegetarian options.Very cute atmosphere & loved the ideas of private TV's (we have put this on our list of places to hit up during ACC basketball season).

We were so disappointed, because this restaurant came highly recommended. Everything looked good, but there was no flavor to the food. I didn't eat my rice because it was so dry and undercooked. Hubby didn't like that his enchiladas were saturated with cheese and not in a good way. Hubby also had to mix the black beans and Quacamole into the rice to make it tolerable. The service was eehhh. We asked our server for recommendations, but unfortunately the server was not familiar with the menu. Well now we can say we tried it and we definitely won't be returning.??

Food was good, but service was lacking. Took 20 minutes for our waitress to come to our table...and that was after asking the hostess to fetch our server. My son's rice and beans came our to the table before our meals. My rice had cilantro/lime rice in top but under the top layer was a different kind of rice (?) Why?? Our waitress told us she would bring our ticket WHILE WE WERE STILL EATING! We had just received our food! Then she said "Oh, would you like dessert? What would you like for dessert?" And stood there. WE WERE STILL EATING OUR MEAL! We didn't order dessert, but my son and I stayed and visited after we ate. OUR TABLE WAS NEVER CLEARED! We sat amongst dirty dishes and empty glasses for at least 30 minutes...never visited again by our waitress. I would go back because the food was decent...not the best, but not the worst...as long as I never have the same server again. She definitely needs some training!

We love this place. First floor for family & second floor for a more lively atmosphere. Stopped in for Brunch on a Sunday. Got a Table in the balcony on the second floor. They do $1 Mimosas & $7 pitchers of Sangria on Sundays. Kitchen was a little slower than usual but it was a beautiful day so didn't matter. We enjoyed Breakfast Tacos that had Brisket & Egg as well as Steak & Eggs. They give you chips with salsa & black bean dip. Salsa isn't our favorite because of the heavy cilantro use. But the bean dip is yummy. Always a good time.

We ordered 'beer-ritas' which are $6 all day long in Saturday, the fish tacos, and one of their monthly special items, crawfish tamales. We were really happy with the taste, portion, and pricing for the menu items. They are a one off restaurant so don't confuse them with any chain places having a similar name. Their service is getting hot like everyplace else at the moment, they only had 2 servers for the whole first floor but they both had a great demeanor and got food out quickly. The rice was not the best but the beans were great and the entrees had perfect seasoning. Thank you Diana G, great job today!

Food was good, margaritas were good but service was not so great. Had to flag server down for everything we needed from refills of salsa, to refills on drinks as well as reminded we still had food that had not been delivered. Good food just bad service.. Maybe takeout next time..

First….3$ special on house margs??? Uhhh yes please!! ?I really liked the ambiance of this place, it was very cozy and and well thought out. Loved the drift wood on display.The guacamole was good, as was the chips and salsa, along with the bean dip.I tried the tamale pie, and it was also way more filling than what I thought it would be! Lots of cheese and it filled me up completely!What stopped urban from 5 stars were, my dining companion ordered chicken for the salad but did not receive it, and the service was a touch slow even though it wasn’t busy.Those were the only issues, but on the whole, I would certainly come back and try some other items on the menu.I though the margs were good, and the food also filling and tasty!!As I said, my highest score over the stars are would I come back, and the answer is yes! ☺️

Great service. Upscale atmosphere and cool vibe.Guacamole is good!

Had to go out of my way to review. The tamale pie is amazing.

How am I just finding out about this place!? I love it here! We had the best service, our food came out fast, and it was hot and fresh and might I add tasty! I really enjoyed the Smoked Bacon & Mushroom Empanadas and the House Brisket Quesadilla. We came in for a quick bite before a show, and they had us in and out in an hour - for a party of 4; it was perfect! I will make sure I come back and try more of the menu. ?
