Salsa was too watered down and not enough substance to it. Also needs a bit more spice. Main meal was fajitas. Tasted good and came out fast. Kinda made me feel like not made fresh? The beans definitely were a bit light. Service was great. Lots of help. Nice place to visit and a decent dinner crowd. I would say we give it another try.

We were greeted immediately and given menus. They have a wide selection of margaritas, as well as wine and beer. I chose a cherry margarita, and it was great! We started off with the dip sampler (salsa, guacamole, and queso). Guac needed salt, but was good otherwise (7/10). Queso has some spice to it, and was great (8.5/10). I had the Fajita Trio and it was very good - a solid 8/10. Spouse had the Beef Quesadilla and said it was also very good - 8/10. I took about half of my fajita to go and also brought home a piece of Piña Colada Cheesecake. It had crushed pineapple and cherries on top and was delicious (8.5/10) - the perfect ending to a great meal! Overall an 8/10 - would definitely eat here again.

The food is fantastic and the portions are HUGE. You definitely aren't leaving this place hungry. Everything came out looking great, tasted even better, and you absolutely get your money's worth. And then there are the drinks and desserts -- holy hell! They have all kinds of unusual, over-the-top drinks and desserts that you don't see at every Mexican restaurant. They're creative, colorful, different, and freaking amazing. Half the fun is seeing what comes out next because some of this stuff is almost too cool to eat or drink... almost! But the waiters really put this place over the top. They're hilarious, friendly, and actually have personalities. They joke around with you, keep the energy going, and make the whole meal an experience.
