As soon as we entered we didn't even get acknowledged. We picked a table and waited about 10 min for a waitress mind you placed was not packed at all. We order an appetizer right away while we decided what to order, appetizer came in 25 min after it was order and then the food took another 35 minutes. Food was not what was expected at all. Very disappointed definitely something has changed in this place.

The fact that they charge for a food and MIX beverage tax but as you can tell I only ordered beer, since when is beer a mix beverage?! LOL! The food is not bad but as I seen in many reviews the menu shows one price and the receipt is another price?! They need to fix the damn prices and the taxing is it to pay their serves? I’ve never came to a restaurant where they charge a mix beverage without even getting one. THATS CRAZY! Once I asked the waitress, she was like “ I don’t know the owners charge it like that…”… they lost their spark after COVID.

I was staying at the Holliday Inn nearby. It is not fancy and doesn’t need to be! The tasty food and caring staff are more than enough! It’s an awesome place to get a drink! I recommend the seafood, the ceviche was really on point. There was a bit of a language barrier but I think that speaks to authenticity. I plan to go back!

Rude managers.
