"It was a really lack luster experience. From the moment we walked in. There was no host or servers in sight, and we had to go find them. The chairs were so uncomfortable that halfway through our meal, we had to stand. The servers were all gathered by the bar on their phones and watching love and hip hop on the bar TV. Despite it being what appeared as a slow Thursday and being very empty inside, it took over 30 minutes to get our appetizer, then another 15 minutes to get our food. Which came out cold or some of it just not good. Like the torta or the al pastor tacos that were very overcooked. My side of charro beans were very cold. The salsa had no seasonings or acid to speak of. Our server Doc or Dot, halfway through our meal, got another table seated, one of the only other groups there, and we never saw him again. They then added a "tasting gratuity" of 20% to our bill, that we still aren't sure why or what that was as we had not ordered any type of tasting. Most of the games were out of order, and the furniture in the gaming area had visible staining and was in various stages of disarray."

"My drink was amazing.tropical sleigh but it was holiday drink. Hopefully its on the reg menu. I went because I wanted more than just food and it did not disappoint. There is a mini arcade there. Patio was nice too. I would def come back."

"We came on a Sunday. The place was really nice with holiday stuff. We chose the dip ans it wasnt good at all. It had no taste. Just melted cheese. I wouldnt recommend that. Their birria chicken tacos were great! The drinks were good! Try the holiday drinks!! The bartender was really nice!"

"The atmosphere here is really comfortable. There is a lot of good indoor and outdoor seating. I unfortunately didn't get to try the food. However, my drinks were good. A busboy took my drink when I wasn't paying attention, and the bartender was kind enough to make me another without any issues. Good customer service."

"In Optimist hall. Took a bit to find it on first floor. Atmosphere was festive. Server friendly. Out of IPA so I got a pineapple guava margarita which was good. Ordered chips with 3 dips. Chips not warm. Shrimp quesadilla didn't come with any sauce so used the stuff from our appetizer. Tacos have corn tortillas which fall apart. Corn is a quarter cob, split, making serving size small."
