    Good food & ambience, don’t like how they add the gratuity on your receipt. We should leave what we think is good/fair for gratuity not them. For that reason I may never go back.

    It was my first time their, and the live music was amazing. The atmosphere and the food were also one of the best I ever had. I would recommend this place to anyone who like fast service, Mexican food, and having a good time. In the end, this place is different than most restaurants.
