Customer Reviews
Great place to hang out locally and grab a drink with a quick bite. There is karaoke on the weekends too. Generally the place was really loud (music volume wise) but the bar scene was nice and the atmosphere was warm and welcoming. They lock the doors to control for people coming in and guests didn't walk about much between tables, there was ample space. As it relates to the food, the quality was decent. Not the best i ever had but it passed. They speak a lot of spanish but are capable with english too. Some issues i had: 1. The waitress accidentally served us tacos meant for another table and given i ordered a lot of stuff, i didn't realize right away. Plus they looked good so i was able to eat. I already touched it and was adding my toppings but she came back and took it saying it was f
Uber delivered wrong food i cam to pick up and give back the order they delivered and I ask to speak to a manager and the bartender and her friend on the other side of the bar were just eating and the patron asked to see the food and then they just ignore me until I went to the middle of the bar. The manager was extremely helpful however that bartender didn't even acknowledge me or say anything she just leaned over the bar eating her food and then served the other patrons. Extremely disrespectful and unprofessional. Manager was awesome though and offered me a drink as compensation. I guess the bartender is just eye candy with no people skills.
Ill be honest,the area is gross,the fact i witnessed 2 impoverished gentleman selling,and buying drugs openly in front of the restaurant really turned me off. Aside from deliveries,I'd never set foot inside of this place. It's a total dub! The food is decent,so I'd order to go.
I guess I came in the middle of lunch and dinner and it was just me and two other people. Every TV had futbol which is okay with me I was the only person in there that could speak English it gave me a chance to freshen up on my Spanish speaking skills. The ceviche & Pico de gallo was awesome it was very fresh and the steak and the chicken was seasoned well.
It is a very nice and friendly place with DJ and karaoke on weekends. The waitresses are very friendly and ready to serve any needs. They have a variety of Spanish foods to hat make your stay worthwhile. The DJ is also very friendly and they also serve birthday occasions for adults. I wouldn't recommend it much at night for smaller children as there is a large adult crowd but otherwise a very nice place.
