Went there Saturday night. Food & drink were ok. This was our first time there. Waitress was very rude from arrival. She assumed we all wanted the group package without asking anyone. Brought us chips & dip without asking if we wanted it so we assumed it was included & then she took everything away while we were eating it when when she realised we were unaware they were not included. When we inquired about the menu she got annoyed at the fact we were'ignorant' of their menu & group package. She actually took the menus away at the same time she took the chips & dip back & never brought them back.
One of the guests asked to order Nachos, her response was'were a mexican asian fusion restaurant, so ..', didn't bother actually answering the question. Just super rude.

So tasty!

Gyoza Nacho has so much taste! We also had the Birria Tacos- enough meat for four tacos.

No reservations needed for walk in bar service.

Absolute must visit for Old Port Mexican!
