The wait time kills this place, they offer first rounds of chips and salsa free, we waited about 45 min after the server took the food order for anything to come out the kitchen, our server was really nice and kept updating us. Food was pretty decent on the flavors. Blackened habanero chicken rate 4/5. and the jalapeños shrimp bacon wrap rate 4/5.
I was really excited to go here with my wife to celebrate Mothers Day. It was ok. We were treated to a mess at the entrance. There were papers napkins blown about. There were also some amazing flowers growing outside. See the photos of that area. The food would have received 5 stars except the appetizer was flat. We had the fried green chili. It was crisp and tasty but had zero heat. In fact, nothing ordered had any heat. Even the free chips and salsa had no heat. No it does not have to burn but at least a little heat would have made it better. Not a bad place by any stretch but my wife who's very sensitive to heat even wanted something.
Our waiter only came by 3 times and we had to get someone else to fill my wife's water cup. We also received a lecturer on they do not add lemon slices to the water unless asked after asking for a slice of lime.
The food was good but a little flat. It came out quickly and did taste good.
Overall the place was fine and the food fine, just not for us.
It takes a little while to be seated and get your food because of how busy they always are, so do not go if you are in a hurry. That being said, the food is WELL WORTH THE WAIT!
This has some of the best Mexican food I've had in a long time. Sonoran style Mexican food has the best balance of flavors between the chili sauce, tortillas, cheese, and salsa. The staff was on point by providing excellent service both with the food and drinks. They have a large selection of tequila in stock as well. This is now my favorite restaurant for Mexican food.
