What a mess! I can understand what being short staffed means to the food and beverage industry however, the inability to communicate or know there’s a problem is unacceptable. When I’m getting my food delivered (flavorless and hastily made) and my family is putting their food into “to go” bags because they were served an hour earlier, there’s a problem! Calling the manager over was fruitless. She displayed a confused look because she was “unaware” of what was happening in her restaurant. From there, she threw the kitchen staff under the bus. Was I expecting to get comped an entree, drinks or maybe an appetizer on the $300 ticket? No way… they wouldn’t understand how to take care of customers. If it wasn’t for us traveling to see family we haven’t seen for years, the experience would have been a negative 1 star. It’s going to take more than a full staff to get this place in better shape. They need to learn the basics of open and honest communication.

Ordered steak fajita, very little flavor. Salsa for chips had very little flavor too. Allot of food but couldn’t eat eat. Didn’t even take it to go, which I normally do when I have food left. Tequila shots very expensive and the service at the bar was poor.

I was charged $8 for two glasses of carbonated WATER! My son and I ordered club soda to drink. It took the waitress 10 minutes to bring our carbonated water and no one ever refilled them (both were empty before the waitress brought our check). I saw an $8 charge for “2 soda”, so I brought it to the staff’s attention (not our waitress as she was too busy to pick up my credit card) explaining the waitress must have mistakenly rung it in as soda since it’s only carbonated water. The waitress returned and told me that her manager said it was the same as any other soda. I didn’t argue with her the difference between carbonated water and soda but told her I’d never been charged for club soda at any any other restaurant. She asked if I wanted a manager… but I told her she didn’t need to get him (he should have come to our table and explained he was charging us $8 for water instead of sending the poor waitress to do it) but to tell him that we would not be coming back. She processed my card and returned it to me and I left without anyone trying to remedy the situation.

I never write poor reviews only good ones but couldn’t not do a review on tonight’s food and service. Yes it was Cinco de Mayo. Restaurant was completely understaffed. Our reservation was at 6:30 did not leave the restaurant until 9:30. Many members of our 12 person party left at 8. The service was completely inadequate and manager said he had no control. We had one of our party that never received their food. Also had a credit card fee added even though paying cash. Have been here many times but never again.

Good food options, went for lunch with my wife had some mixed fajitas. Great location in Wellington with enough parking and establishment looks very clean and organized. Alex proved a great service, we will go back to try some margaritas.

I dont know what happened to this place but saying they went down hill is an understatement. Four of us went out and not one person could eat their food. It was so bad, one of the worse dinners I’ve ever had. We used to love it here, the food used to be great. But it seems like they changed their food. The salsa tasted like tomato sauce, the rice was hard and bland, the nachos were soggy with charred burned steak that tasted like hamburger, the enchiladas were swimming in cheese dip, the shrimp tacos were bleh and the shrimp were mot deveined, and the churrasco was awful. The music was so loud we could barely hear each other tall, the server couldn’t hear us well. It’s a shame to see a place just.. I don’t know, fall so far from glory I guess? I can’t believe im saying this about this place, but I will not go back there… I don’t think any of us will.

Great atmosphere with good service. Spacious seating area. Everything was remodeled nicely. Raspberry Margarita was good but too sweet, and they forgot the salt on my rim. Food was good at decent prices.

We have been coming here since they’ve opened these doors, and the service and food have always been phenomenal. Thank you for keeping the food real and delicious and the drinks with that special kick.

A friend recommended this Mexican restaurant tucked away in the corner in the Publix shopping center off of Forest Hill. The first thing that caught my attention was the green salsa which actually would spicy the way I like it! I ordered the enchilada lunch special and received a very generous portion. Overall I had a really great time I definitely will be returning.
