Bars not big enough for the expanded space. Waited 30 minutes from the time I sat down to get my drink. Tables for two are now too small for a tapas style of ordering. Really disappointed, I have been coming here since it opened & I probably won't come back.. maybe I'll give it one more shot if my review is heard..

The restaurant has great fusion Mexican vibes to it. The food tastes good but it could've been better, it's American Mexican, not traditional. The portions are really small, you really have to go with App, Salad, Tacos & Dessert to fill yourself.
