    We are starting at 3 stars. When we arrived they seated us immediately and the hostess brought us napkins and forks. The place is not that packed so it looks promising. I asked the hostess for an order of guacamole.  She brought us a basket of chips and the quac, but there were not enough chips to go with it, so we asked for a second basket. In the mean time we recieved our drinks and no chips, asked a second waiter and still no chips 10 minutes later. Finally went up to the hostess and she went in the back and got some. Our drinks were empty for awhile, the table next to us got their food, ate and have left and we are barely getting our meal. Which they rushed out and put 2 of our salads in the wrong bowls with no room to mix it together and that was it. I called for the manager who was very nice, I told him he needed to bring us bigger bowls and he agreed as well as some cheese and sour cream for the one that looked like they forgot and another basket of chips.

    Once we got to eat the food was good, not great, but good. Thank goodness for that because otherwise it would have been a one star for sure.
    Not sure if we will ever come again, but I give the manager props for trying to fix things quickly.

    I decided to give this place a try while stopping on the way to Yosemite. It was a Friday evening but we only waited a little bit to be seated. Once seated, we knew what we wanted but the waitress took a long time to come.

    When she did come, she said she'll get to us soon and then went to go chat with our neighboring tables. She finally took our order and then we didn't see her until after our food came. We asked the person who brought our food for some chips (since we saw that other tables had it) and utensils. He said ok and then never returned. The waitress then came around 5 minutes later and then we asked for utensils and she brought 2 sets for 3 people.

    She never filled our water. She gave us chips after a long time. She never checked in on us. The service was so bad I was so disappointed. To add to that, the food was also really meh. I will not return.

    Order insanely expensive drinks, they were so weak we are still not sure if there was alcohol in them. Below average drinks.

    Food was slightly above average. The tacos (it's Tuesday)  were well priced,  and delicious.  I had pastor, I'd say they were pretty good. We also had the been and gravy dip - surprisingly delicious.  

    The service was mediocre. Over all I have to say I wouldn't come back. Outrageously priced for what it is and definitely not a place to grab a drink, you won't get your money's worth.

    The inside is nice and new.. didnt have to wait to be seated. They have a few wait staff that seem to just be walking around, but at least they offered to refill our chips and salsa.
    I ordered the Camarones a la diabla.. I LOVED IT!! Nice and spicy, the way I like it.
    I now prefer this place over Las Consuelas. Both are overpriced but I enjoy this place better.

    So I went with my fiancé to eat here today and the restaurant it self was extremely nice and over all great atmosphere. I got a chicken wet burrito with green sauce, fiancé got the same but stake. He loved it he felt the food was really good, I liked it wasn't blown away but better then some of the other Mexican restaurants in town. Definitely worth going back. Just wish the salsa was hotter.
