Currently at the restaurant, have been seated for 40 minutes and have not gotten our drinks, not even a water. Server told us "were really busy so youre going to have to wait a while." Why would you say that to a customer? If we werent set on margaritas we would have gotten up and left a half hour ago. Usually I am a very content customer at really busy places, since I understand. However, this place is NOT busy like they claimed, they are not even on a wait. As we sit here, two tables have gotten up and left. Again, Im not one to complain but this is crazy!!

Fantastic food! I will say, make sure Tony is not your server. After bringing food and drinks never came back to the table. I had to go to the bar to ask for water after a 15 minute wait. Had to ask for our check. And had to bring it to him after another 10-15 minutes. Also, got charged full price for a virgin margarita on a $70 tab. Seemed ridiculous. Very nice gentlman. But with only 3 tables to serve, I would hope for a little better service. Otherwise, would absolutely say, go for the food!

Do not be fooled by the outside. This restaurant has a fun decor with outdoor seating on the side of the building. Outgoing friendly staff. Food is interesting combinations with fun flavors and beautiful presentation. Only I guess you have to be careful ordering. I was very shocked when I ordered the grilled fish off the featured grilled chicken and fish 12.99 flier and was charged $19. Because the two items on the flier headed 12.99 were not actually 12.99.

It took forever to get service when we first entered. Finally, we received service with the server apologizing and complaining vaguely about the kitchen. Ordered the queso dip and it was luke warm and the chips were stale. Two orders came out several minutes before the others and even after receiving our food it took awhile to recieve utensils. Food was mediocre at best and the chicken was of poor quality and taste.

Horrible service. Had to ask for drinks, menus, napkins, silverwear (after being served our food) and also for chips and salsa. Had a group of 7 and wanted seperate tabs...couldnt uae a coupon for one tab and also get the drink special on the other tab. Was told only one deal per table. Waitress only checked on our table one time. Even had to walk up to the bar for refills on water! Will never return.

Food was luke warm, service very slow, and taste was tolerable. We got very stale chips and the server took about 5 minutes to bring another basket which was only marginally better. Ordered a cheese dip which was decent but came out barely warm. Chicken was lower quality with unpleasant taste. Service was slow even though there were only 2 other tables occupied. Definitely not returning.

I went there with my grandparents for my grandmas birthday and I had the chicken enchilada and it was disgusting! The beans tasted like burnt plastic, the rice tasted worse than Taco Bells and the chicken tasted like BLEH!!!! And dont even get me started on the fried ice cream! I am never ever coming to this place again!!!

Male server complained he wasnt supposed to be our server because she was late, but continued to serve us even when she arrived. Male server overcharged me on margaritas during happy hour, so I didnt leave a tip, and he took the liberty of adding a tip for himself anyways. I would have chose no stars if it would let me.

Ive read great things about their food and Id like to go back and give that a try, but the day we went we were mis-informed about the specials, served uninspiring substitutions, and had to leave early because the womans bathroom had no working stalls. Our server tried her best in a not so ideal situation.

Service was friendly but slow. Didnt get silverware until after the entrees. The first basket of chips was very stale. I got the smothered burrito which was almost entirely rice and beans and what chicken it did have was mediocre. I covered it in sauce to finish it.

Hadnt been in this place since it was the Star Bar and I love what theyve done with it. The rice and beans were ok but the steak enchiladas were delicious. Overall a nice place and I will definitely be back. Ill have to check it out on a Saturday when theres a DJ.

We have been here twice and we all enjoyed the food. The kids especially loved their meals and we all left very full. The prices are good. Our server both times was Norma and she is very friendly. We enjoy coming and love Norma.

The server there was a very nice until the very end when he said that we ordered more than we actually did order. I submissively agreed and paid but was charged $14 more than what I received. I will never go there again!

The best guacamole in all Minneapolis. The food is fresh and delicious. My waitress Lastenia was fun and a delight. And with Thursday 2 for 1 Margaritas it was a bargain. We loved it and will be back.
