    Perfect visit. The food was good and with great quality/price ratio. The request for a table near the window was attended despite us being two people and taking a table of four. Service was nice and and easygoing without being pushy. Happy!

    We did order the trio mini burgers, 3 for the 3 of us… buns were hard and not fresh, food was cold, cheese sauce on top of burger almost frozen…. Very disappointing

    We wanted to change tables because we were cold at the one we were at, and one of the waiters said the air conditioning wasn't on and the other available tables were for four people, so we couldn't. We asked another, and he responded more politely and kindly, "Yes, of course you can." Although he later changed his service, we almost left the restaurant because of his attitude. Attention is paramount!

    The restaurante has a great environment, service is quick and nice. The food tho… starters came cold, our tacos and burritos also came cold, the texas cheese fries where not crispy, they tasted like yesterday. The only thing really worth it was the T-bone.

    The service was extremely slow. Though the food was tasty, it was served very cold. The fries were especially cold - like they made a batch earlier in the day and did not bother to warm it up before serving.

    The steak was very poor taste, fries bad, mini burger tasteless. Only good was short rib but small portion, would not recommend this restaurant for this price value.

    The food was very tasty. I was disappointed they did not have ribs as I went there just to try the ribs. Was a little weird as it was early (5:30pm). I think she said they don’t have ribs ready until closer to the typical dinner time. Had steak and it was good though.

    Nice ambiance and decor, friendly staff. And though overall the food was nice, it wasn't amazing. The mozzarella sticks are not worth the hype, the guac in the veggie burger was full of raw onion and the fries were unsalted. The beef was very good. Items are a bit overpriced.

    I had a lunch with my partner and nobody cared when I walked in. I had to wait to be seated even though the restaurant had 3 waiters and maybe 8 guests. Once seated it took another 15 minutes to get attention and order some wine. One waiter stood behind me playing Facebook totally ignoring customers. Moving on to the food the beef dish was barely chewable. I will never come back to this place. Thank you.

    Food was very average (burgers and ribs) but place itself, service and ambience were really good. Plus you can’t beat the prices with TheFork discount. Still worth recommending!
