    This is a great place to visit if you love Hispanic cuisine like I do, but this restaurant, to me, doesn’t tenderize their steak enough, so I always get chicken if I order something. But the alcoholic beverages they serve are great . I had some Don Julio one day there and I really like it.

    Stopped for an early dinner. The place is very clean; although tightly packed seating. Service was extremely fast. Food was excellent and very flavorful. Will certainly visit again.

    Food was a little bland for my taste. Still fresh and tasty. Good sized portions.

    The service is pretty quick and straightforward. I can't say the drink are very strong compared to Chili's and that's not not a great thing since I would think a Mexican Restaurant would have stronger drinks but get you some extra shots and you'll be fine. The food is pretty good. I enjoy the atmosphere and you can always meet nice ppl at the bar.

    Had the place to ourselves at around 3:30 pm. Food was phenomenal. Queso, salsa and chips were great. We had the Campechanos tacos(steak and chorizo). Very good food, very good prices.

    The food here was great. The Piná Maya was overflowing with shrimp and packed with flavor. The customer service was great and so was the atmosphere.
