Great happy hour and customer service. I especially liked their shrimp tacos from their regular menu and their free bean dip!
This was the worst service I’ve ever experienced. My husband and I came here to have a good time, and when we asked the DJ for a song request, he literally told my husband ‘no.’ I was so disappointed that I finished my drink and walked out. It honestly shouldn’t be acceptable for a DJ to deny a simple request—most people enjoy a variety of music when they’re out. It wouldn’t have hurt anyone, and I’m sure others would have enjoyed it too. Overall, it was a ridiculous and horrible experience. Just sharing my honest opinion as a customer.
Went on a Wednesday night and it was still a vibe! They had a house DJ mixing pop, hip hop, Spanish music, and more. A really good mix made everyone get up and dance. Lots of seating for people and such an attentive staff picking up all trash and empty cups. I will say however the bar was a bit slow. (There were only two bartenders but it was a Wednesday). Special shout-out to Angel, he was so helpful helping a friend. I'd definitely go back on a weekend when they open up the other side of the bar for the dance floor.
Fish Tacos 🌮 Were Yummy Only thing is if you go for a birthday there is No Staff Involvement as far as singing Happy Birthday collectively or Any Music but Our Server she was awesome and so was the host. Very reasonable prices. And if you go after 7 pm the parking meters are free. There is parking in the back but with meters.
First of all out out to Logan. He was the most chill kind professional warm and welcoming server I’ve had in a while. Secondly we were a bigger group and some of the dishes were people “best ever”. I highly recommend this place! I love the location and 2nd street is really fun. All street parking or paid street parking. There is a bar side and a seating restaurant style side. The restaurant side is a bit more quiet and more about the food.
