Joli décor. Pas bruyant du tout, on pouvait s'entendre. Portions généreuses. Agrémenté d'une Margarita classique. Simplement délicieux. Notre petit groupe a passé un très bon moment. Le serveur, David, de mémoire, a été très sympathique & il nous a fait d'excellentes suggestions. Je vais y retourner c'est certain.

November 30, 2024 - Very BAD experience! We will never go back there again. A CRUDE welcome: As we arrived, we were told that we must leave the place at eight pm. At the time of booking none of this had been mentioned otherwise we would never accept tp eat in such a place where customers are so rudely treated. The food ? What about it? The beef inside my meal suspiciously tasted like chicken liver (which I hate)- Well, I prefer to think that it was chicken liver & not something else. I could not eat that although the portion was small , as small as my guest's meal. The dessert was supposed to be a crispy crust filled with ice cream. The crust was frozen (cold & not crispy at all). The ice cream tasted NOTHING & this is not because it was cold & could have frozen my tongue. NO! . It tasted like a bad quality ice cream, that's it! The sangria blanca was certainly 95% water judging by its taste. What about the service? The waitress was smiling but always hasty to go elsewhere, sometimes missing what we were asking her- Probably too many tables to serve for one person. However two busboys were really eager to remove my guest's plate although he did not finished. Don't try to have a conversation with your guest. It is REALLY too noisy. We NEVER experienced so MANY BAD things in the same restaurant! & guess what? The restaurant was far from being full. So what's the point asking us to leave at eight under the pretext of allowing new guests (ghost guests?) to have a table? Note that we wanted to leave a feedback on their app'OpenTable'. Surprisingly, our two stars rating was preventing us from writing a review (which would obviously be bad since we put only two stars) & only good reviews (probably very old ones) could be seen. You may wonder why two stars rating? We were just sorry for the poor waitress who certainly tried to do her best but how could she? The two stars are for her, EXCLUSIVELY.
We have been here several times, usually for dinner. The enchiladas are great, authentic, & full of taste, have tried them all but our favourite is the tomatillo green sauce. The fajitas were pretty good, but after a round of nachos it was a bit too much for only 2 people. Nachos were ok in taste, good size for sharing. The burrito bowl was good but the chicken cobb salad was not well balanced. I have never ordered their dessert, but have ordered some of their drinks, the sangrias are very good & light. The music was a bit too loud for our liking so hence the 3 stars on atmosphere
