"This place is pretty different than what I remember from when I was younger. I do not eat cilantro or anything with cilantro in it, and I remember a specific dish that was safe from having cilantro in it. I was told that the dish does have cilantro, and the waitress also warned me that the salsa brought to the table had it as well. She helped me out by substituting the type of chicken (fajita chicken does not have cilantro, but shredded chicken does).The waitress was super cool and patient and answered all of my questions. The food was also really good as well. My partner ordered a pasta (Pasta Diablo) and said it was great!Overall, this was a great experience even with my pickiness. Can't wait to come back! Dietary restrictions: A LOT of dishes contain cilantro, so make sure to double-check. Kid-friendliness: This place does have a kids menu and highchairs"

I ordered steak fajitas, but I found the meat to be quite tough and not very enjoyable. Several other guests at our birthday party had the same issue. View menu

The waitress we had was fantastic, probably the best we've experienced in quite some time. The food was served hot, but it all seemed to have a similar taste. Overall, it was just okay.

This was just a takeout of chips, salsa, guac and of course their wonderful Queso. It was ready as soon as I arrived and was still warm when we got home. They got me In and Out as efficiently as

Be careful about what you pay. When I added it all up, it was less than what was charged and they wouldn't fix it. The manager tried it herself and the look on her face and her shrugging her shoulders told me I was right. She wouldn't admit it. The waitress was awesome though.

Additionally, the portion of toppings we received with our Naked Nachos Grande was underwhelming. For $11.99, it felt like a rip-off! I advise against wasting your money. We also tried a fajita steak burrito, but the steak was tough and rubbery—completely inedible. The sides of rice and beans tasted stale, as if they had been sitting out for a while, lacking freshness. Overall, we won't be returning to this location. It was a waste of both time and the $43 we spent on this unsatisfactory meal. I do not recommend it; there are definitely better places to get good Mexican food.

"Went here for a celebration dinner. The seating by the windows was lovely. The server was very helpful answering questions and didn’t rush us. All the appetizers, meat/fish entree’s, and desserts we tried tasted delicious. A bit pricey, but we knew this from looking at their menu online beforehand.Dishes we tried: calamari, caprese bruschetta, focaccia, seafood bake, salmon, and the surf and turf.The appetizers were all tasty and good to share between 4 people. Really loved the crispness of the calamari with the dipping sauce, the caprese bruschetta was my favorite and a plus for it being vegetarian. I liked the spread that came with the focaccia, but the bread itself was a bit bland for me.The seafood bake was light and creamy and served hot out the oven with the right amount of seafood-pasta mix for me. Tasted even better with added parmesan. The pilaf and veggies complemented the salmon well.The desserts we tried were all a decent size for sharing and they all tasted delightful. The salted caramel crème brûlée was so light and creamy, and had enough sweetness with a touch of salt to my liking. Both the blueberry NY style cheesecake and the lemon-raspberry NY style cheesecake tasted so good, not super sweet and the cheese part was just right. I personally preferred the lemon-raspberry topping over the blueberry because of the tangier taste, but they both were great choices.I would recommend adding the dessert menu online for people to see the different options ahead of time. Overall, a great dining experience that I would recommend."
