Terrible service and average food with evil drink tasting managers. We watched as the manager TASTED our drinks and tried to give them back to us when we said they weren't as good as our first round of margaritas. They then brought us out a new batch that tasted even WORSE!! Disgusting! more

Good food, a lot of tequila, but doesn't have the beer selection of grill & tap. A good alternative though if grill & tap is too crowded. more
