New restaurant, nice seating and friendly waitresses. Live banda music, not super loud. Food was good and well served, a little pricey I would say, but it has a good taste. Not so many people there, they need to make better publicity as the atmosphere would feel more live with a little more people enjoying the music.

Very friendly service, good tasting food, pleasant atmosphere, a little slow to take and bring the order.

I don’t ever write reviews and usually give the benefit of the doubt but for my First time here my friends and I had high hopes because of the aesthetic of the place. We were all hungry and excited to eat here. It definitely looks like a great spot to come to and enjoy good music , food and drinks , but It took just about an hour to get our food and was told because it’s fresh. When I received my order of aguachiles they were room temp, hardly even cold and lacked flavor. Not to mention there was only 1 other table there other than us. Nobody else at the table thought their food was worth the hour wait either. We had ordered a sushi roll too and it still wasn’t out so we asked to please cancel that order . Shortly after the waiter decided to bring it out even after we had let them know we didn’t want it . We were ready to go . We also felt like she was trying to make us feel bad about it and offered to take it off the bill but we really didn’t want it anymore because the experience had us eager to leave as soon as we could. All in all would not recommend.

Food is great, however service 1 star waitress needs customer service. I ordered chicken fajitas, she came out with steak fajitas and when I told her I ordered chicken fajitas she said I ordered steak fajitas. 8 people in my party in unison said we all herd him order chicken fajitas. So not to make a big deal I ate what I didn’t order. She could have apologized and changed the order instead of putting words in my mouth or making me think I order something else.

First time here and I have to say the food and drinks were pretty good. The atmosphere was great and the live band added much appeal to the place. The staff was very attentive and friendly. Definitely recommend this place.

My first and last time I ordered 2 fish soups for my sick parents and what that got was how water with 3 1 inch squares chunks of fish. No flavor at all nothing but water and fish with no taste. Horrible never again!
