well i worked there for a while and the place sucks..the bbq is not smoked well the kitchen workers sweat over the food..theres rodents in the basement..management hah dont even get me going..they are so un-experienced at it..the food is tasteless and rubbery..the only good thing they have going on for them is the location..the drinks are prepared by unprofessional staff and they are mostly mixers no booze at all..the frozen drinks are prepared and reused for days even weeks..if u want to get sick go right ahead..the servers are rude and leave your card open so they can add a tip even after u left, if you dont believe it ask lisa or aquino they would answer you..the bar staff is slow they talk behind the customers back make fun of them ask francis he knows about it..jess the bartender robs from the tips he doesnt report all of the profits and gives away drinks to some customers messes up the timing of the orders and then gets mad to the cheff..the server frank steals drinks from the service bar along with Pedro the service bartender that sends ``soda`` to the cheff downstairs by soda i mean ``patron - dos herraduras - corazon mixed with coke`` in exchange for steaks and stuff he also drinks at his workplace..why do u guys think there is so much coronas missing?? do the math..thats all i have to say now..if u want to get sick..overpriced food that u can make at home go there

Pros: none

Cons: everything from the start to the end
