    Street tacos with beans and salsa.
    C R.

    Food was good, large portions, distinct flavors and presented simply but beautifully. Beer was cold refreshing and at the happy hour prices easy on the wallet. The cheese cake was good and would have been better without the sprinkles (my only complaint). The service was excellent with just enough checking in on the right times and made everyone feel good from the welcome to the good bye. The booth was comfortable and the scenery (beachfront and the ocean) was great.

    Appetizer platter

    Traveling from New Jersey. We stopped by late afternoon just for a quick bite with the family. Sat outside and it was pretty good. Server was a little lost and didn't know the menu very well (they were also out of a few things of the menu). We ended up ordering the appetizer platter which was pretty good overall. Drinks were good too but the "el jefe" margarita was way too expensive and they don't tell you how much it is until the bill comes out. Nice spot to go once in a while but I would not come back

    Learned that this restaurant opened just 2 months ago. Amazing vibes and staff. Excellent drinks and great food. Extensive drink menu where many drinks come in small, medium and large sizes. Highly recommend for a fun time. Hope to be back soon.

    Burrito Bowl Salad

    The service was quite slow. I couldn't identify the waiter or waitress; I only caught whoever came by. The problem was that only one person spoke English. Our drinks didn't arrive at the same time. We had to remind someone twice to bring our drinks. My grandson's mac and cheese, as shown in the pictures, was the last to arrive (30 minutes after we got our food) and looked quite like boxed mac and cheese. On the bright side, his fries were hot. Besides the fajitas, most of the food seemed reheated and quite dry. For example, the plates were hot. We were there during the day; however, the food seemed old and overcooked, lacking the freshness you'd expect. We will not return, feeling very disappointed.

    Went to this new restaurant while in town for vacation and after the first time I knew I had to be back for round 2. The second time was even better of an experience than the first one! The chips at the beginning were warm and fresh. The food came out very quickly and very very hot fresh off the grill the cheese continued to melt as I kept eating. Overall 10/10 with flavor and taste. Service was 9/10 server was around but when we needed something we could not find him. Very good at listening and everything came out correctly. When it comes to the atmosphere, it felt relaxing with a little bit of a Spanish twist. The music was great, and the decoration was perfect. Unfortunately no mariachi band that would have made it amazing. Overall I recommend going to this place and enjoying it!!

Our server was friendly, but slow. The restaurant was typical for a hotel bar and grill, meaning there was no warmth in the furnishings or decor. All in all, I won't be back, not because the food and drinks were bad, but because the price was much higher than the establishment called for.

The surrounding area is easy to walk and has a cute vibe. When we walked in, there was a short wait because the hostess was busy, but she apologized right away. It wasn't an issue for us since we weren't in a rush, and the acknowledgment was appreciated. For drinks, I ordered the mimosa sangria, which was just okay--not bad, but nothing memorable. For food, I went with Fatty's Hangover Burger ($16), topped with a fried sunny-side egg, apple-smoked bacon, lettuce, and tomato on a toasted challah roll. I added cheese for an extra $1. I don't usually order burgers, but this one was decent. It was a little peppery for my taste, but overall enjoyable. The sunny-side egg really made it, and the fries were a solid side. Overall, a convenient option if you're staying nearby or looking for a casual American styled food with a relaxed atmosphere.

All smiles & "no worries!" :) Food- honestly, everything we had was delicious. Bavarian pretzel, club sandwich, & 2 kids meals, grilled cheese & mac & cheese. Bonus- kids meal comes with drink & yummy ice cream. Get the bday cake or oreo! Club sandwich is huge triple-decker on Texas Toast. We shared it. Yummmm. The problem- we weren't planning to order any of that. They were out of EVERYTHING. The only saving grace was Justin & the food was actually very good. But- the kids wanted pizza, but no cheese. Cheeseburger? nope, no meat. Quesadilla? nope again, no proteins to put in it. Tacos? NOPE- missing ingredients. The most ridiculous? My wife wanted a cup for her beer. THEY WERE OUT OF CUPS! omg!

Our server was friendly- but the service was brutally slow and they were out of several items. No idea what was going on that day. But the food we did get was decent. I had the bao buns, which were really Asian style tacos (even served on a taco stand). But the flavor was there, and it was a good bite overall. They have a decent kids menu too, with pizza, sliders and mac and cheese. Its a pretty good place to stop by the beach for a lunch, just wish the service had been faster.

I think this time was even better! We arrived around 230 on a Saturday, lucky for us happy hour started at 3 and we had a 30 minute wait for 6 people. Literally perfect timing because no one was waiting before us and about 10-20 minutes later the waiting area became packed for that 3 o clock happy hour. Side note: happy hour is from 3-7, 7 days a week! The service was phenomenal, the whole staff was so nice and accommodating. While we waited for our table, we were able to order a cocktail from one of the waitresses. We also had a baby with a stroller and they made sure we had plenty of room once we were seated at our table. The food was amazing, I'm a fan of cooked oyster but i decided to be a little spontaneous and try them raw. I was pleasantly surprised at how fresh and clean tasting these oysters were. It reminded me of eating sashimi. My wife and father in law had the lobster rolls, they both loved them! My son had the double cheeseburger from the happy hour menu, literally cannot beat this deal. $6 double cheeseburger with fries on the boardwalk is unimaginable lol. I had the Nashville hot chicken, which was good but maybe could've used a little more flavor. But the quality of the sandwich as a whole was spot on. I really don't have any complaints, this was the highlight of our day. My in laws live in Wisconsin but they travel a bunch and they said that these oysters were some of the best they had ever had. They would never see 1$ oysters where they live, so I'm glad we were able to come here and create this memory together. If you've ever debated whether taking the trip to the strip is worth it, it is! Definitely check this place out!

The rude guy working the bar was neither friendly or pleasant. There were no napkins when food was served. I stood up and politely asked for some. I found some below the register and, since the guy was busy prepping drinks, I decided to get them myself. He then said, "okay do my job," which was unnecessary and rude. Though the other waiter was friendlier, service was overall bad.
