“ Excellent food and service! We were pleasantly surprised at the speed that our food was served after we placed our order. The staff was extremely kind and friendly. The non-alcoholic pomegranate margarita was absolutely delicious and I would highly recommend. ”

- Tania Cuthbertson -

“ Food was good but the margarita on the rocks was mostly all rocks. The few sips of margarita were good but I feel like I literally paid $12+ for a glass of ice. ”

- Jay Braver -

“ Excellent, but unless you want to get back in line open a tab if you want more drinks ”

- Chipper Gronholm (Roswellnative) -

“ I arrived with friend for dinner and there was long line. However they had a greeter who was very welcoming and genuinely nice which made the line go fast! As a first timer, the worker bee who took my order was very patient! Actually all the worker bees I encountered were friendly! The food was hands down, Delicious! ”

- Ramona Moore -

“ Got there around 5:30-6 on a Saturday evening and didn't have to wait long. We got there right before the line started which was perfect timing. Very friendly staff that helped us decide what to get, as it was our first time there. I got the cheesy beef taco basket with cilantro lime rice. We also got a blood orange margarita pitcher. The margaritas were delicious and I couldn't get enough of it. The tacos were soooo yummy but the rice was a little dry and underwhelming. Overall a good experience though with a great atmosphere and clean bathrooms. Would recommend. ”

- Griffen Lawrence -

“ The food was phenomenal, service was great, drinks impeccable. Drove an hour and a half for a concert and would drive an hour and a half again just to have the tacos. ”

- Anastasia Fenyo -

“ I would recommend opening a tab if you want to drink so you don't have to go up to the counter. I think having a separate bar section would be a better option for people who just want to order a drink in the future when the restaurant gets more settled. We got a variety of different drinks and all were delicious. This is the pomegranate margerita ”
