Was here with a colleague of mine on a Monday evening, so the place wasn't fully packed. We saw the "happy hour" offer so we decided to give it a try.

Since there weren't any outdoor seats available we were shown inside to a pretty big are and a lot of empty tables. We were given the menu quite quickly and immediately asked if we were going to eat. Since we weren't hungry at the time we both said "no, just drink".

The waiter taking care of this section seemed lost most of the time and pretty overwhelmed, like he was on his first day at his job so it took a while before he came back to our table to get our orders. We wanted some gin cocktails and asked if we could choose the gin that goes inside, even if it's being charged extra. The waiter didn't know how to answer that and got his manager to answer our question. In the end we went with gin fizz and a gin mule. So, as two colleagues we started conversing about all sorts of stuff, not really paying a mind to anything else... But after more then 20 minutes to get 4 drinks (happy hour... Order one, you immediately get double) we finally get our drinks. My colleague is visibly irritated at this point and thought he should talk to the supervisor about the situation, that being we both waited about for half an hour for 2 drinks and then we get double (which he falsely thought would be charged as well) so I had to go into bomb defusal mode to calm him down and succeeded.

The gin fizz was really good, though the same can't be said for the gin mule, which just didn't go well with me.

After the first drink we both decided we could go for some snack in between the sips and opened up the menu again and agreed on some enchiladas. My colleague even even waved the waiter for attention to which he got a "be there in a minute" in the form of a pointy finger held up. Except it wasn't a minute or anything, it was another 15 minutes. And needless to say, after waiting about half an hour for 4 drinks on a mostly empty station we weren't all to happy about waiting for food fo God knows how long.

In the end I felt like we were intentionally neglected because we didn't want to eat right from the start, but I could be wrong. Needless to say, we won't be visiting again to find out.

Positive thing was that my colleague was wrong on his assumption and we paid for only two of the 4 cocktails, but with so many waiters and staff running around you would expect things to go much faster and there wouldn't be a lot of waiting to be had. 2 stars because of the happy hour and the drinks.

Horrible experience! It took more than an hour for the food to get to our table. Finally, when we got our dishes, I realized that most of it were frozen food. They absolutely have no idea what an enchilada is and it looked prepared, frozen and reheated. Absolutely disgusting. The cocktails are ok and the waiters are nice. I strongly suggest to avoid it

Everything looks good. Burritos tasted fine but nothing special. One was super greasy, which wasn't great. Place looks nice, but it's also super loud.

The crew was very kind to us. We were there during the holidays and they offered us free chips and shots. Atmosphere was great, music was ok. All in all, good fun.
