My drink was good—pretty standard—but his was fantastic. The prices are reasonable, and the service was friendly. Although the place was mostly empty as showtime approached, the staff still seemed a bit rushed.

Unfortunately, I didn't get to sample the food due to time constraints. However, what really annoyed me was when I ordered a whiskey on the rocks. I was charged for the whiskey and then hit with an additional fee for the ice! Who charges $2 for ice? My advice: skip the ice altogether.

We did not have tacos but has margaritas which were reminiscent of my college days. Just tequila with a margarita mix. Not what I expected. In addition, the pretzel twist was rubbery so it must have just come out the microwave. Although my meal could have been better, my friend had the barbecue cauliflower which she loved. Overall the ambience and staff where great, the food could have been better.
