So many people who made reservations waited more than an hour to get in. It was a disaster. I left.

They are not usually this bad, but this time I went there with my family on taco Tuesday and there were only two guys covering the entire floor where the bar is at. And the back of the corner where my family sat was hotand the AC was broken. First server put us in the wrong place for Taco Tuesday thing saying that Taco Tuesday can be served inany table. Later we were told that this guy is a newbie. So we had to change our seats to where the bar is. A server turned onthe fan for us but it was giant and too strong wind coming out so we had to turn that off to eat our food. Our server (old guy)was very friendly and attentive but he just had too many customers to serve. Tacos were great and I like their salsa and chipsand corns. I wish they serve unlimited black bean as well as pinto beans. My kids had some hard time that I was not verycomfortable but for the price I got good meals.
