"Came for a nice dinner but was blasted out by a loud norteno band that took 20 minutes+ setting up, doing sound checks and fiddling with their instruments. Ruined the atmosphere, energy, and turned a peaceful night out into a fully fledged wedding."

- Jorge R.

"The carne asada quesadilla was ok, the Del Taco has a delicious quesadilla too with better guacamole, as an extra addition. Los cabos had an oily guacamole with horrible taste. This guacamole comes with some of the plates in a small black container. The tacos were good. We share but"

"Wow!!! I was staying at the Days Inn and the clerk recommended this place. I was not disappointed! First of all...I sat in the bar area since I was coming in by myself. The service from bartender was top notch. I ask what IPA beers they had and he brought over and of them to my table have me choose which one I preferred. Them the soup of 7 Mars (7 seas) was excellent. I ordered the garlic shrimp which was tasty . I will definitely come back when I'm in town."
