Worse than Taco Bell. Seriously worst restaurant experience we have had in Tampa and even overall in the past few years. On a Friday night- gorgeous night where we got a break from the heat — only 1 of the 4 bars open and the back patio bar closed. Slow service- front bartender busy in the other side stacking glasses while our drinks ran dry. My husband’s fajitas were burned. My enchiladas were cold and awful- very salty and dry. We will never go back. This place should just close down. So many amazing other options for Mexican food in South Tampa.

We went here on Cinco de Mayo and had the worst experience. We knew it would be busy but after taking our drink order, cocktails hadn't arrived 40 minutes later. We ordered 2 specialty and 1 regular margaritas. We ordered queso and chips and chicken nachos at the same time, also hadn't arrived. Finally got the managers attention who made our drinks. We watching him pour them all from the same shaker that he used well liquor to make. He then tried to pass them off as the top shelf cocktails we ordered at the table. One sip and all nasty sour mix. Our food arrived shortly after, all cold. When we got up to leave, they had no remorse other than "its our first cinco". That's a poor excuse for garbage service. If you can't handle a holiday, you shouldn't be in business.

Met a friend at the outside bar for Happy Hour on Friday night. Beautiful trees and comfortable seating. The service was great and drinks plentiful. The musician was exceptional! Not too loud and a great play list. We really had a good time.
