Food and service were great, but the ambiance and overall feel was a little strange. Music was loud and punk (certainly not a “cantina” feel). Food more than made up for it; guac and chips, shaved Brussels, fish tacos and BBQ nachos were all impressive, as was Rachael our server.

Amazing food as always! Loved booking on Open Table and making a note of my husbands birthday-arrived at Diego's to find our table decorated, and a birthday song/dessert was done without asking! He had the best birthday ever! (The fantastic margaritas didn't hurt either!)

We sat at a booth near the water side and the sun was blinding. A shade on one window would have solved it. Also it was hard to talk as it was extremely noisy even without that many people there. Sides are minuscule, too. But the food was delicious.

The food was AMAZING, and they had an entire menu dedicated for Gluten Free & Vegan Options...HARD TO COME BY. The service was HORRIBLE - it took over an hour to get our drinks, and even LONGER for our food. The patio was fun but SOOOOO small! I wish there were umbrella's or an awning to block the sun setting, its RIGHT in your eyes the entire time if you are sitting on the very small patio. Bad Service, Good Food.

Really slow service. Food was not great and really small portions. Ordered a second margarita and got something that i didn’t order. Never got the replacement. Would not recommend.
