If you're going to charge $19.75 for a large pepperoni pizza (the pizza half of the place) you should at least tell your employees to tell anyone that orders one that this is what it now costs, despite the menu showing that it costs $18.
Also, when the place is almost empty, there's absolutely no reason why you should be serving a $19.75 pepperoni pizza that is undercooked.
Pizza is supposed to be crispy, not doughy and moist. Your pizza maker needs to be retrained on how to make a proper pizza. I could've ordered the same, and technically a better (cooked, not raw dough) pizza from Dominos for half this price. Never eating here again.

Where to start?
The service was very poor as we waited 10 minutes for someone to come to the table (there was only one other patron eating at the time) & I had to go to the bar & ask the bartender if anyone was working the dining room.
Once ‘Brenda’ brought us water and about 5-10 later took our order…we got the complimentary chips & salsa AFTER I asked for it.
To her credit, at one point Brenda brought a carafe of iced tea as she had seen I was running low.
As to the food…the chimichanga was very disappointing as it was mainly filled with LOTS of yellow rice, a few slices of onion, red, yellow & green bell peppers and minimal pulled chicken breast…which was not seasoned at all. Truly the only flavor came from the red ranchero sauce & queso on top of it.
My wife’s ground beef enchiladas were flavored mainly by the ranchero sauce & cheese on top as the ground beef also had no seasoning!
All in all there is no reason we could find to give anything a positive rating!

Beautiful restaurant, had high hopes. Enjoyed my margarita and the tequila selection was very impressive. Service was kind and attentive. Food was awful. I ordered the Puntas de Filete and it was pure gristle and chewy meat. Maybe it was an off day but it was genuinely terrible.

So, about this place. I’m not thrilled but I think they can do better. The place was not busy at all however it was a Tuesday around 2:30 in the afternoon. The food could use more love from the chef. I ordered the Birria tacos. The braised beef was good but could have had more flavor. The consommé was very bland, in that I had to season it myself with more salt. Chips were nice and warm but the salsa. Bland. Also ordered the Mexican corn for an appetizer. Yeah, let’s not ruin elotes. I would go back but it would not be my first or second choice. 3.7 for a score. Drink was good though. (Moscow mule)

Kinda classy & kinda laid back vibe all in one.
Delicious food. We had the Taco Salad and for my drink, I got the Ranch Water and it was very refreshing!
Our server was a bit inattentive that evening.
