    First time here and super impressed. Our server was great- super helpful with making choices. Their margarita was a 10/10! My husband and i shared 4 things (3 would have been more than enough). We couldn’t pick a favorite- they were all equally delicious. The atmosphere made me feel like i was out of town. Great experience and we will be back!
