Well we were intrigued as the next table was served a pancake bigger than most pizzas these days. So we were a group of four and decided to order the pancake with blueberries with sides of bacon and hash. The pancake was enormous but a bit disappointed that we were only provided with a small amount of syrup and had to pay for more. Well we bought a $10 jug and took the rest home. All was delicious but the pancake kid of sat in my stomach all day

When I mentioned this to the waitress she did offer to bring out chicken breast and feta which was nice. But for $32 it was disappointing. Stay with the traditional meals

We saw a sign on the door that if you danced your way to your table, you got something free... So we danced! We got a free taco and a free shot! We started off with the patron tree and ordered mango, peach, raspberry, and strawberry. We opted for on the rocks versus frozen. All of them were very good not overly sweet. For apps, we got chips and homemade salsa with the diablito queso (jalapeños) We ordered the Birria tacos, and the three taco combination with Carnitas and tacos al Pastor. There's a cute little photo station and a chill bar set up.

The service is solid, and they even have a kids menu with simple options like chicken fingers for picky eaters.

The tacos come with tortillas with red onion, salsa rojo or verde, cilantro, and more--so good. Highly recommend!

Wanted to enjoy this place. However left with amazement, disappointment and utter lack of…read moreprofessionalism. Start with the food it was ok. Nothing wow or great just ok. Flavor on the food was just lacking. Even the Vermont cheddar cheese was bland and only a whisper of sharpness. The home made chips good but lacked anything special. The true problem of this place is the ownership/management. We went there little after it opened. To see a table with a 5 gallon bucket of utensils and servers doing their side work on a table you have to walk past to get to anywhere in the seating area. Then we come to the management/owner. My biggest pet peeve is doing the books or daily paperwork in the guest area. You have an office or a place away from your guests. Not in full view and with in ear shot of your guests. And not in a place where sound carries. The BIGGEST complaint is the language. You are the leader of your staff. You set an example for the behavior and attitude of your staff. Dropping F-BOMBS and other vulgar language is not at anytime acceptable. Clearly the servers knew it and didn't thankfully follow your lead. This is NOT your buddies garage or basement. You are having people come in and hearing your language and seeing and clearly hearing your behavior I can not recommend going here. If it was based on food maybe. But clearly the ownership and leadership will keep me away from here. Such potential wasted by such poor work ethics.

Ordered the tortilla chips with trio of dips (guacamole, queso, salsa). The chips were nice and crunchy and salty and the dips were very tasty we would get this again. We got a quesadilla with flank steak and a burrito with Barbacoa and split these entrées. Felt the Barbacoa didn't have a ton of flavor, it reminded me of birria. Both birria and Barbacoa taste like pot roast. I do really enjoy pot roast but the meat needs to be seasoned a little more. Add a little more salt or the meat is going to lack in flavor, I don't want just texture I want flavor as well in the meat. The flank steak quesadilla was really tasty but they didn't put a lot of flank steak in it. The meat itself had some nice flavor to it. I ended up ordering a flank steak burrito to go and asked them to add extra flank steak to it since I figured they would probably not add very much just like they didn't add to the quesadilla. I took a bite of the burrito when I got home and really enjoyed it. Good guacamole as well we both agreed that it could use just a little extra salt in a squeeze of lime juice. She really enjoyed her margarita. I just had some of the takeout flank steak burrito that I ordered at the end of our meal. It was really delicious and that I give five stars too but make sure you order extra flank steak so they don't skimp on it, or else you might be disappointed.
