      The ambiance when entering is very nice but as you move to the sides (right) it's sort of an odd setup with a very wide space.
      We are seated at the very back table and they began setting up for music or some sort of performance, not sure what... anyhow that causes for a decent amount of commotion.

      Just found out it was for the male stripper at 8pm you must be kidding

      Service: SERVER himself was very friendly. Service overall needs work. Drinks; just sodas, took longer than one would appreciate and before the food even came I requested boxes. Our server was very kind. I highly doubt he can control how SLOW the food comes out.

      We each got very basic entrees, nothing that should have taken so long. The food was good, nothing memorable.

      If you eat here, ask to sit up front because the back feels like where they send castoffs. & male strippers apparently.

      Honestly, I've been coming here for 10 years and it always hits!! Nachos and margs are the best. Also has a great beer list. You won't be disappointed!

      I've been here multiple times for different events ... they water down their top shelf liquor in the actual bottles. They add on automatic gratuity and even charge a "kitchen" fee as well. Many other customers have experienced this. One has reported to the city.

      I wish they would just totally rebrand this place. It's the only spot like it close to Agganis for pre games or concerts so it should make a killing but the food got lousy and they nearly never have the beer you ask for and bottled beer is never cold. They've changed hands multiple times but the upkeep of the place is pretty gross. Nothing seems clean - avoid the bathrooms if you can. As far as the food, it's better under the latest management, but still not great. On our latest visit the buffalo wings we ordered had no flavor (or seemingly, sauce), the quesadilla was pretty floppy and not fully cooked and the nachos just aren't what they use to be in its hay day. They could use a big overhaul in general. It's too bad cuz I want to love this place and have a good spot to go before and after hockey games. This just isn't it anymore.

      Both the food and the margs were to die for! The bartender named Samantha was so friendly and took amazing care of us!

      Love this place! The drinks are amazing (thank you, Sam!) and the nachos are the best. Any time I'm in the area, I have to stop in for a margarita or an island breeze!

      Had an awesome time at this Mexican joint! Shoutout to our waiter, Sam, who made the meal even better with his laid-back and friendly personality and attentiveness. The food was great and the margs were sooo yummy. If you're into great Mexican food and a chill vibe, this place is a win!
