"1/8/24 - I visited here again with my bestie for my bday. We went ahead and just sat at the bar. The bar tender was super nice and great service. He heard it was my bday and got me a brownie cake. My friend didn't even ask him to do that. We got the Pineapple Mojito Sangria and it was soo good. 3/22/23 - Went here on a Monday night. The place is very inviting and open. It is very well lit with lots of lighting. We got to sit right next to the balcony window. The food was reasonably priced and refreshing. It didn't taste like those food chain restaurants. The chips and salsa comes with mild and hot. Both were really good but I ate the mild the most because I don't do spicy too much. I got carne tacos for my meal and they were super delicious. It comes with rice and beans. I also got a mojito and a margarita for my drink. I would definitely see if they have any drink specials too. We first just ordered and found they had $5 margaritas after. Majority of us got a specialty drink but still would have been nice to know. The bartender/server did hook us up and we got a larger cup the second round for our $5 margaritas. My fiancé got carne asada for this meal. My fiancé never liked sauces but he really loved the chimichurri sauce on it. His sister and boyfriend also got the same meal. They both mentioned parts of their rice having hard pieces in it. We weren't sure if it was supposed to be like that or not. His sister also got a strawberry frozen margarita and it was super strong but good. I would recommend trying this food out and seeing the scenery/décor. Server was also super great!"

"Upscale Mexican place, but prices are reasonable. Entrance is a bit tricky; there's an elevator and steps that lead to the entrance. Drinks are on the smallish side, and those are pricey, but the place is located in Town Center, so they have to pay the rent somehow. Food portion is a pretty good size for $18.00. I ordered the Acapulco combo: tamale, beef enchilada, chicken enchilada, and a hardshell beef taco, with beans and rice. Service was friendly and efficient. Ellis was the bartender."

"Went here for the first time the other night, and while the server was great, the bar was so backed up we never got our second round of drinks. Some of the food was delicious (Queso Blanco and Top Shelf Guacamole were excellent), and some was meh. There also seemed to be a number of things that were just removed from the menu, but if you ask, they still make(?), so it was like trying to order from a secret menu. The place is beautiful, but if you go, know what's good in advance. Kind of hit or miss, especially the cocktails."

"So so good! I would definitely describe it as American Mexican food a little bit but was executed so well. Wait staff was lovely, drinks were amazing and the churros were so so so so good! Also ambience was beautiful, elevated the experience for sure. I will be back for the quesadilla!"

"The food and drinks are great and they have a nice ambiance with indoor and outdoor seating. The servers that have assisted me have all been awesome!! I did attempt to sit at the bar a couple times but both experiences have been poor. Other than that, this is a great addition to the town center area."
