In Short – A sea of young people swarm in after work and sit at white plastic tables in front of a monster-screen television, cradling equally monstrous 46-ounce peach, strawberry, Texas and blue margaritas. Pinatas and beer mirrors inside fit the generic Mexican theme perfectly. The portions are formidable, especially after you load up on the requisite free chips and salsa. The chicken soup topped with avocado is the menu's best deal for $4.

Taco bell is better than this dump

by Johninatlanta

I will never set foot in this dump again. The manager did not even apologize for the crappy service. Half the food at our table came out wrong and this is out of 30 people. They forgot to bring us out our drinks and forgot one persons food altogether.

  • Cons: slow food, slow waiter, slow service, food crappy

AVOID AT ALL COSTS!!!

by supershay

Horrible horrible experience!!! The service was horrible! I sat at the bar and the bartender did not acknowledge me at all. After 3 minutes of waiting, I asked for a menu and the bartended acted as if I had inconvienced him. When I was ready to order, I had to once again get his attention. I ordered lemonade which was poured into a childs cup, although the lady next to me was given a full sized glass for her beverage. Perhaps my 5'8'' frame reminded the bartender of a six year old. Once again I was avoided by the bartender and felt as if I had done something wrong for asking for a to go box, my check and my change. I will NEVER go back. NEVER. NEVER. NEVER. And fyi, yes I would definitely classify this restaurant as a prejudice establishment.

  • Cons: everything

We had a late night pick up at the airport and stopped in to sit on the patio. Food service was closed, but the bartenders and managers were courteous and attentive. drinks were great! The patio was busy with everyone having a great time.

I will definately stop back to try the food, all servers were very friendly and fun.

Great atmosphere and wonderful patio!
