Very disappointed! Saw the reviews so my husband, FIL, SIL, cousin, our two kids, and I decided to go there for dinner. Got there and sat for a short amount of time for a table, once we got there it my SIL was sitting across from a window and the sun was getting in her eyes so we asked if they have blinds to which they replied "no but we can stack some menus" so they put the menus across the window in a line and ask if thats okay and of course its not because it only covers the bottom half of a huge window! To which they say "well the sun is going down soon" Uhm no, its 6 o clock. We then start ordering our drinks; us girls ordered margaritas and my husband tried to order a beer that they had on their menu to which they said "oh we dont have that beer anymore" why do you have it on your menu then? We then order our food my cousin and I ordered a quesadilla both the same but she asked for just chicken and cheese, my daughter got the childrens quesadilla with pineapple "cubes", my SIL order chicken tacos, and my husband and FIL ordered the fajitas with 3 different meats. They are a from scratch kitchen supposedly so the food took a little longer which is fine. We got our food and the tacos were good but my cousins quesadilla had peppers and onions on it as did mine which I was fine with. The quesadillas was decent (hard to screw that up) but nothing special. My daughters pineapples was from a can which she wouldnt eat (was expecting pineapple cubes and canned fruit she doesnt like) my husband and FIL food was all over cooked and after that we didnt see our server once, until we sat with our semi empty plates for 15+ minutes. We then ordered dessert my husband got a Reeses pie and my SIL got churros with ice cream (lets all keep in mind this is supposed to be a from scratch kitchen) the Reeses pie was clearly one that you can buy from shoprite and the churros were clearly pre-made frozen churros and of course werent that great. We were all very disappointed and the bill was high which would have been fine if the food was actually good and from scratch. I was a chef and went to culinary school so Im not lying when I say this stuff was NOT from scratch and if we wanted to have decent over cooked food we would have went to Applebees. The only good thing about this place is that the margaritas had a lot of liquor in it. Very disappointed and will not recommend this place to anyone with taste buds!

OK food. 2 of 3 dishes were cold. We had to send back the rice and beans because they were overly old, cold and crusty from sitting. We got there and no one was waiting in front of us. We asked for a table and was told one was available near the bar, a low top. Five minutes later a table emptied right near the entrance. We proceeded to wait 10 minutes for the table we were told was already available and the whole time the table where people left sat dirty, waiting to be cleaned off. I was very tempted to just go bring the handful of dirty dishes back so we could sit. When we did sit the waitress was attentive when she was around but had a of tables to cover and a lot of area because we were in the large bar room. As far as the food my fajitas were OK I guess, but my rice and beans were kinda old as well. My mothers Zarape was very tasty she said but was more than a little cold. My fathers tacos were cold but he doesnt like having anything sent back because he thinks its "making a scene." Between the cold food, the wait to be seated and the failure to clean tables while customers are waiting seem to be a management issue to me and since the cold food seems to be a theme recurring in other reviews, I would expect the issues to continue since they seem to me to come from the top, not from individual cooks or waitpersons.

We are still here now. We were a bit tentative because of the mixed reviews and the fact that this is a relatively new restaurant. We traveled 30 minutes and did not want to be disappointed. We are a party of 10, 4 adults and 6 kids. We were told it was a 45 minute wait and decided to stick it out. Shortly after visiting the bar, a hostess approached us and asked us if we wanted to wait in the lounge because there was a draft by the door and we were a large group in the foyer. We were directed to a room in the back that had several couches and TVs. We were immediately approached and the ladies ordered Margaritas. The server brought out chips and salsa for the kids which they devoured in less than a minute. Everyone was more than friendly and we got our table in less than 45 minutes. We ordered a variety of fajitas, chimichangas and quesadillas with absolutely no issues. Everything came out as ordered and tasted great! Our drinks were never empty an we have a great view of the WVU -Miami game. Well definately be back to this place! Wait...... here comes the bill....... well still be back!!!!!!

If I could put negative stars I would! I have never ever ever been so disappointed and let down. First after receiving our flat sodas we got our dinner. Needless to say I could have found better food at the dollar tree in the frozen food section. The enchiladas, which is what my gf got, were mushy barely filled with anything and way too salty. I got the trio and I couldnt tell what I was eating since it was all covered and swimming in the worst red sauce I have ever had and all tasted like defrosted mush. I finally gave up eating and asked for the check and let my waiter know we genuinely did not like anything and just wanted the check. Im not one to ask for anything but rather see how a company handles a very obvious Un satisfied customer. The waiter said ok and just came back with the check and said have a great night. So we paid and went to McDonalds. I will NEVER GO BACK!

First as told by a bartender, "who goes out without a license". Well one person in my party had accidentally forgotten hers and was way over 21. She was not allowed to drink. We even asked to speak to their manager. Absolutely no way she could have a drink. What was shocking is they kept blaming the previous establishment, Tiffanys. As mentioned in previous posts, staff is to new. Our server was fine, some of the bartenders I found unprofessional. Decor is nice, I figured it was a corporate place. My shrimp quesidilla would have been excellent if you gave me more then one shrimp in each piece. My husband had the Mexican Flag which he said was good but not exceptional. Food prices not bad, but if we ever try again when the newness is gone we will not be ordering drinks. The bar is Overpriced!

Had dinner with my boyfriend this evening. The place was packed, 40 min wait but thats to be expected for a new place. Inside was nice. The blue moon margarita was great. Only downfall.......servers are either waaay to over sat for their sections, or waaay to new. Cant handle the fast paced environment. At all. ALSO...ordered the aztec shrimp quesadilla...STAY FAR AWAY DO NOT WASTE 12.00 ON IT. you get 4 small pieces, and 1 PIECE of shrimp inside each small 4 pieces of quesadilla. My jaw dropped..and i laughed. Had them take it off the bill. That was ridiculous. MIGHT return once things die down. A little to pricey.
