Unfortunately, the food, service and ambiance of this restaurant still disappoints and is not worthy of a positive recommendation.

There was a comedy show happening, and there wasn't any seating available at the bar. Unfortunately, no one seemed to care to assist us.

The food was delicious. I had the vegetable burrito and my husband had the carne asada. The staff was friendly and attentive. read more The food was delicious. I had the vegetable burrito and my husband had the carne asada. The staff was friendly and attentive.

Unfortunately, there were only a few tables that could accommodate five people, so we requested to push two tables together. The tabletops weren’t clean, prompting us to ask for someone to wipe them down. The service was extremely slow, even though there were only a handful of customers present. To our disappointment, they didn’t have any whiskey, despite having called ahead to confirm that the bar was fully stocked, as we were told. The food was just average, and one dish had to be returned because the tuna was overcooked and tough; however, they kindly removed that from our bill. While sitting outside was enjoyable, the trains that passed directly behind the restaurant, blowing their horns, made it difficult to carry on a conversation.
