    It was a verbal special occasion for us & the noise level was out of sight. Lots of young adults drinking & crowding all over. We couldn’t hear ourselves talk to each other. Not a quiet romantic experience! Food & service excellent but extremely LOUD. .

    We really wanted to love this place. Service was great, locale is perfect. But the food was totally mediocre. My shrimp enchiladas suisas were bland and mostly bechamel sauce with just a drizzle of flavorless verde sauce - no flavor, just a heavy bland sauce. The Palmilla margarita was good - but nothing special. The strawberry margarita was fantastic - smoothly blended and piled high in the glass. I can’t see a reason to return with so many other great restaurants in the area, except maybe to have a drink on the patio before going somewhere else.

    Food is good and the service was great. We sat outside so it’s not too noisy.

    I definitely recommend making a reservation if you are going to have a girl's night out. The drinks are always great and the food is delicious. All of the wait staff is beautiful.
