"I came with a party of 6 at 1800 on a Friday. No reservation wait was 20 minutes, but the patio outdoor seating was wide open so we got in with no issues right away! The server was very friendly, but a little on the slower side, most likely not her fault since the drinks came from the bar. The white peach margaritas were phenomenal, will definitely order those again! Complementary chips and salsa are always a bonus, they loaded us up with those here. To start we got the Mexican street corn and queso. The queso was as expected, warm and delicious. The corn is an acquired taste I think, but something I do thoroughly enjoy. It's more on the sweet side, so keep that in mind. For the entree I got the Molcajete, which is definitely meant for at least 2 people but probably could have fed the entire table. The meat was all very flavorful, but everything outside of the delicious sauce was a little dry, with the exception of the shrimp. It wasn't a big deal, just dump it in the sauce and it's good as new! Flavor wise, definitely in the top 5% of any Molcajete I've had, I absolutely recommend! We will certainly be back next time we're in the area."
