My boyfriend and I went here for dinner on Sunday. It was so crowded and the wait time was like a hour and a half. I was on the fence about waiting that long, but really wanted to try it.

Thursday afternoon was a great time to go, parked, walked in and was seated. Even the wait is not a problem as the beer & margaritas are always cold, a... read more
