Food is great. Service is so slow! Very slow actually. For the type of food they are serving, (taco’s) on a board - open - each dish comes out 10mins apart. Ordering 5 dishes took close to an hour to serve.

Great vibe and good food. Gluten free set menu was really good, except perhaps the calamari was a little over cooked - but overall delicious. enjoyed the margarita and sangria - will definitely be back.

This was a fantastic experience. The food was incredible and the service was impeccable. The fact that my girlfriend broke up with me over dinner didn't ruin the meal itself

Food was great and good value for money on Tuesdays. Service was a little lacking and slow at times. Waiters asked what we would like to order but I had to repeat the order each time as they did not have their iPad open yet. If you are asking what I would like to order that usually implies you are ready to actually take the order.
