I love the Karaoke there, but they seriously make the WEAKEST mixed drinks ever there!! Super stingy with their pours it seems! I spent almost $50 dollars on happy hour drinks one night and hardly even got a buzz (and no, it doesn't normally take me that much!) If they were more generous it would be better. Their taco Tuesday is good tho! Fresh tortillas and the meat is yum!
