The food and service was spectacular! There were 6 of us, 3 adults, a teen, and 2 kids. Everyone enjoyed everything. Will go again!

Bartenders walked over me & my group of 3 & served everyone else that came to the bar that was not my color and got mad when we called them out on it. Stood there trying to order for 30+ minutes and we were ignored for whatever reason i don't know. Never got out of line or out of character. Just wanted a drink. Our money is green just like everybody else money.

Food is fantastic and service is top shelf! We have been many times and with all restaurants it will be hit and miss. Not many missed for me.

The food is OK. But the service really sucked. Our waitress didn't keep our glasses filled. One of our party didn't get silverware when we asked for him some she had an attitude. Needless to say no tip

By far the worst dining experience I've had in years! I was a kitchen manager, bar tender, server, and cook for Outback Steakhouse years ago. I am one of the most patient clients and generous tippers I know. I left a $0.00 tip today for the following reasons. 1) Our table was in the main dinning area but our waitress was working the patio. We saw her only a handful of times while we were there. 2) My food came out luke-warm (ordered a chicken fajita meal), and my wife's food came out 5-10 minutes after our food. We had waited an obscenely long time just to get our food and were tempted to walk out without eating before the food finally got to our table. 3) I asked the food runner for some shells for my fajitas He left and never came back. I then asked the hostess because my waitress was non-existent. She then told another server who went out to the patio to tell our waitress what we needed. It took 4 people to get my shells, some ketchup, and some sour cream. 4) The bill was 60.00 for food that was mediocre at best. I could have gone to El Mariachi's and spent about half, had better service, and had way better food. 5) Finally, we were there for about an hour and a half. I got filled up on chips and salsa while waiting for my food because it took so long, my drink was empty for a long time before finally getting a refill, and by the time it was over all I wanted to do was pay the bill and leave. When this place was On The Border, it was somewhere my wife and I went when we first started dating. I was excited that it was opening up again and was still a Mexican place. That being said, I don't see this place lasting. It seems poorly run in every aspect. The best single word that I can use to describe this eatery...sad....simply sad...
