The ambience and bar service are still killer. I actually came for the cheese dip, but ended up ordering the Salmon Verda plate too, and I'm glad I did. It was absolutely amazing. My original plan was to get the fajitas (my go to), but after eating way too many chips and cheese dip, I figured I should balance things out with something a little healthier. The salmon ended up being the perfect choice. It was cooked just right and honestly better than I expected. I usually decide what to order based on pictures from Yelp, but there weren't any for this dish. So... you're welcome.

Came back a second time and it was still delicious.

Still had the pina colada of course and their queso of course because both are always perfect and delicious. I want to be clear that just because I'm offering some criticism in this post, it doesn't t mean I didn't enjoy it. My shrimp in the grilled shrimp and pineapple salad were a bit salty and felt a little basic but I loved the lime vinaigrette. My wife's tacos were delicious but were barely warm. The Cowboy Caviar was a great side but strangely, it needed a bit of salt. Don't care. Still love the food and vibe here.

TLDR the Frida Torta was good but could've been better, and the churros were awesome…read more Frida Torta was basically a sandwich of Mexican ingredients. The bread was crisp, the sandwich held together nicely, and it had good flavor. But I think there could've been more meat; it was basically one small layer and the ratio was off compared to other ingredients. I also wasn't a big fan of the beans - I got some very pasty bites sometimes. Fries were good. Could've been a little crispier, but not a big deal. The filled churros were absolutely delicious, but they only gave me two? It used to be 3, referencing my first review. Waitress was polite and attentive.

Went here for a team building work lunch. This was my first time dining here and I really liked…read morethe decor and overall ambiance, but it was really busy and fairly loud inside. There were 8 people in our group and they ended up seating us outside which wasn't a problem as it was warm and sunny. Once seated our server took our drink order quickly and followed up shortly with taking an order for appetizers. Which also came out fairly quickly. Our server then took our entree orders. He returned three or four times to replenish/refill drinks for the females in our group but ignored me and the other male in our group, until we asked for a refill. Our entree's took about 20 - 25 minutes to come out and there were several minutes between the first and last to make it to the table. In the business district of the town where most of their lunchtime weekday customers are workers on lunch break they need to be getting the food out the kitchen quicker. As for the food presentation was nice. Everyone's dishes looked really fresh and appetizing. Two of our team had the shrimp taco's and they was so much moisture in them they ended up eating them with a knife and fork. Another two on our team had the Quesabirria. They said it tasted good but had more cheese than Burria. As for my own dish, I had the poblanos with steak, which is three enchiladas covered in a poblano sauce with a side of rice. The portion was a reasonable size but the steak was chewy and while it wasn't bad the poblano sauce just didn't impress me. It was just plain in flavor, with not much poblano flavor. Like I mentioned earlier we were seated outside. I was about two thirds the way through my meal and found a small black hair in the sauce. Where we were sat was pretty breezy so I cannot say if the hair came with my meal or if it was blown onto my food, but it was not the best end to what I would call a lackluster meal.
