We ate dinner here with a group of 6. Everything was pretty good. Will definitely come back again.

One of our corn breads were under cooked and the staff removed it from our bill without asking them to do so.

I ordered the 16oz T Bone Steak 🥩 with Shrimp add on and some additional sides!

It was great! However I do recommend to ask them to put the butter on the side as they put a big chunk of it on the steak which melts it down quick.

The shrimp was probably the best Shrimp I have ever had in my life!

We were drawn in by the photos of the authentic nachos and other great reviews. We had high expectations and every aspect, food, atmosphere and service exceeded those expectations. Because it was hot we opted to eat indoors and really enjoyed it because it was an attractive space. Although there were large parties which we thought would be noisy the structural design kept it intimate and quiet.
Our server was knowledgeable about the menu and drinks. The margaritas were individually made and not from a mix, the best we’ve had in town. The nachos were delicious and the tortilla soup and salad were exceptional. We give this restaurant our highest recommendation.
