MY REVIEW: The food is great and the staff is always super nice. The place looks amazing especially at night. The restaurant transforms into a great place to hang out and drink. Definitely going back.

MY REVIEW: First time to visit, they had a great live band (Rumba) and the restaurant is very impressive. I have heard that service was bad but the floor manager gave us a personal tour of the entire place while she was explaining to us of all the recent changes and to be honest we really enjoyed the evening. They made us feel very special. Who doesn't like that? Definetly I will be back again.

MY REVIEW: This was our first time going. We were with a large birthday party. The staff seemed really unprepared for a large party even though arrangements were made in advance. We initially had 1 waiter for 60ppl. the drinks were slow getting out,but the biggest letdown was everyone in the partry got their food and my wife and I didnt.We told the waiter several times,and even told the manager twice,but they just kept telling us it was coming.Finally after everyone had eaten,and the lights were sut off for the band we got our dinner. All we ordered was a order of nachos. They did give us the food for free,but at that point it was too late. At one point our waiter had the nerve to say "it's not my fault,I just work here" We will not be returning and would not recomend it to any of our friends. The band was GREAT though.

MY REVIEW: I throughly enjoyed the food, but the entertainment..... it was superb. I was there for lunch on a Thursday and then went back to see the live band that was advertised to be there on Friday night. THE MAMBO JAZZ KINGS were so good, I went back again on Saturday night.
I loved that band. I will be looking to see when they are playing here again.

MY REVIEW: The place has a lot of potential. However, they are still in the learning process. Valet parking is available for free but I opt to park my own vehicle. Waitress was a bit new at her job and she constantly forgot our drink orders. We had to repeatedly remind her of our order. We didn't order anything off the main course menu and stuck to the appetizers. They were your typical Mexican dishes but nothing to really rave about. I can honestly say the best thing I ate there was the chips & salsa but again I didn't pick from the main menu list. Manager came by our table to check on us which was a nice jester. They had a live band playing some really good music and kept the atmosphere up beat. We were even offered a tour and you can tell a lot of money went into this place. I can really see this place becoming something much bigger with the right team leading. I just hope with the location; they don’t let it go downhill and that they try to keep it up scale as much as possible. I would say I would attempt to go back again but this time I’ll pick something off the main menu list. My overall review is this place is worth the try.

MY REVIEW: I LOVED IT!!!! The food was great. Yes, it did take awhile for it to come but is that not the way with most restaurants who just open? The Fajita meat was well seasoned and cooked. The Pico and Guacamole was very fresh and the waiter was very out going and friendly. The atmosphere is beautiful and festive. I noticed Lunch Specials for $5.99 on board...will definitely stop by again.The Margarita was a little weak and over priced.Happy Hour is too competitive to have a Margarita at that price for HH! Overall, the experience was great and I will be back.

MY REVIEW: Four of us went only for Happy Hour and had the "house" Margaritas. We were all in agreement that they were absolutely the WORST Margaritas we had ever tried. We advised the waiter who said he really liked them and that their bartender was from the Dominican Republic and that's how they make them there. Did I mention they were HORRIBLE? They also forgot to put salt on the rim of one of our glasses but offered us a salt shaker!!! We only drank about a third of our drinks and left. On the positive side, it's a very pretty place but we will not be going back.

MY REVIEW: Great venue, courteous staff, overpriced drinks, and happy hour is a dollar off bringing most drinks to $11. Newly built, but feels as if management rather comp their money for construction within years of opening. Food was authentic, and creative. Happy hour is a joke though.

MY REVIEW: My first and last time to go there!I went for a birthday party on Saturday. This is a new builing structured before our eyes.I couldnt wait til it opened.I was invited to a birthday party there. The "valet" was free. I didnt see the need to have valet in the first place. It was only steps away. Upon entering, the place was decorated as a typical mexican restaurant. It has two floors. Second is for bottle service only. Only one table was occupied.The band was good. The drinks. $8.00 for just amaretto and cranberry! Ridiculous.I'm never going there again

MY REVIEW: The food was pretty good, but the prices were a bit high. They have a Cuban sandwich, and the usual Mexican dishes. We waited an hour after ordering before our food was brought to us, going through three baskets of chips, though the place was far from packed. When we paid, we had to wait a very long time for our change.
