Atmosphere was Mexican theme, and very well done! Home made salsas and tortilla chips for the table to share. Food was 10/10 bartender was knowledgeable and made a fantastic Cadillac margarita, highly recommend the Cadillac, made with fresh squeezed fruits, and nothing premixed. Their Mexican rice was delicious and the dinner was tasty. I will come here again when traveling through Florence. Johnny was our bartender, he was great! There was even a robot droid who brought our dinner to the table 🙂

I enjoyed the food and atmosphere. The robot with the music while delivering the food was the best! The staff was friendly, but they seem to be short-handed. They should also give the workers pot holders because the dishes were hot. Other than that, I will be back again when I get a chance! Oh, I almost forgot, the artwork on the walls was nice; it reminded me of when I was in Mexico.

Had dinner here last night with 2 friends. We got there at about 6 o'clock. There was only one other couple there that we saw, it took several minutes for us to get a table even though the place was empty. No one was at the front door to greet us or to seat us. We had to wait for somebody to come up there. When they finally came up to the door there was a gentleman holding a menu deciding if he was going to eat his food there or to go. Finally, the gentleman looked at us and asked us how many for our table? We told him in the hint, he sat us down. When we sat down, it took us about 10 minutes to get service. We had no drinks and had no chips. At other Mexican restaurants even when they're busy, when you sit down, they bring you at least water and chips. Our friends showed up. Our wives ordered drinks. Then, we ordered our food. Our food came out in a reasonable time. However, our friends ordered fajitas to share. But they did not bring an extra plate, they said they had to clean plates.I'm not sure why because the place was completely empty.They should have had more than enough plates to serve people. Throughout the night, our waiter kept coming by and asking if we needed anything else, it was very nice but thought he had done it a little too much. Every time I was trying to eat. He would come by and ask if we needed anything. Overall, our experience was okay, it wasn't great or bad. The food was good, but very pricey. Most Mexican restaurants you can usually eat for under $15 per person. Most of their plates were over $20. They also have house specials that are blocked off in red. I ended up having the deluxe burritos. I thought that would come with beans rice or some kind of salad. Nowhere on the menu does it say items that are blocked off in red you don't get those items. Our waiter even mentioned that he wished that was on the menu, so, people would know.

I found this place a while about 6-7 months ago. I’m in the area a couple times a week and if time permits I like to stop in. I’ve always enjoyed the food and ambiance but the service has been hit or miss. This week specifically it’s like something changed. Both times this week the service has been a huge improvement!!! Andrea serving the bar area has been great. She has made sure that everything I need and don’t need has been handled before I could ask. She had a younger lady working with her Tuesday night that was equally as attentive. I think her name was Jessica. I told my wife that I’m gonna become a regular at a place 500 miles away from home! Great job guys making the much needed improvements. Being a former restaurant GM of a high volume restaurant I know how the staff hates having more than needed on the floor but once they build on this better service and already great food they will all benefit for the long haul! Great job and keep it up

This place is so cool! 2nd visit. The first time I loved everything including the robot that delivered food to the tables. Artwork, kind of Night of the Dead theme, is very interesting and adds to the festive atmosphere. Tonight they had $3.50 lime Margaritas and wow! The salt on the rim was really tangy and certainly gets your attention. Very tasty! I had a shredded chicken crunchy taco, and I think it is the best I ever had. The salsa served with the chips has just enough kick. I can't wait to come back when I'm really hungry! And the desert menu looks great too!
