Visited in Jul 2026. Seemed like the place was under-staffed. Staff were pleasant enough, but the service wasn't great.
Drinks were v slow to come out.
One of our order items didn't arrive, but was on the bill. Staff corrected this when we pointed it out.
No napkins were provided with the tacos (seriously?). We had to go & ask for some.
Maybe this night was an aberration for them. Let's hope so.
