Food was slightly better than average but not necessarily worth the price. The biggest reason for 3 stars however was due to service.
I called ahead of time to make sure that the patio was open and that I could bring my dog on the patio. The person I spoke with said that as long as we were on the patio there would be no issue and that the patio was open.
When I arrived. I went inside to let the host no that I would be sitting outside. The host informed me that I wouldn't be able to sit outside because they were not seating outside, I told her that I had my dog and that I had called ahead 10 minutes prior. She asked me to wait while she checked with someone (manager maybe), then came back and said that I could sit outside.
After being seated, my wife and I were informed by our waiter that dogs are not allowed at the restaurant but that he would let it slide since we were already there. I informed him of the phone call as well, to which he responded "sometimes they make exceptions".
This frustrates me because I did my due diligence to ensure that my family and our dog would be welcome prior to selecting your restaurant, yet I was still given the "run around".
If you are dog friendly, your employees should know that you are dog friendly, and if you are not dog friendly you should let people know when they ask.
I would have much rather picked a different restaurant, than feel like I put your employees in an awkward situation. -

I really enjoyed lunch here! There was a lot of space and lots of parking. I have a two day work trip and wanted to see my cousin (who I see once a year) who has an internship here. I met her here for lunch during her break.
The server was really nice and welcoming as soon as I was greeted and sat down.
They explained that this is the only location with live maine lobster and everything is made fresh. Their proteins are sourced especially for them. They're also known for the margaritas.
It was exemplified in the complimentary freshly made warm salsa (made that morning or the evening before) that they served you with chips. I couldn't stop eating those.
They also have a whole page of lunch specials. My cousin and I got two of the lunch specials including one of the grilled items that came with bacon wrapped shrimp and steak fajitas, and also the shrimp brochette queso. It was so good!
We got the ensalada for $6 and it was huge. The total meal was $45 and we couldn't finish the salad and half of each dish, because the portions were so huge.
I highly recommend coming here, and it definitely made my two day Texas experience worthwhile.
I saw the server come out with churros, and they were humongous, but looked appetizing. I'd go back to that location. -

I really enjoyed my meal. It was very expensive but worth it since I was only able to get here once in the past two years. This is a special occasion place for me.
I loved the filet mignon fajitas. I really enjoyed the Pappasito Reserva Margarita. The shrimp on the shrimp tacos (with Mexican street corn and habanero glaze) was very good as well.
I asked for no salt and I did not like the smoky chili salt stuff on the prickly pear Margarita, so I was not a fan at all. If it had not had salt, it might have been ok. It was a super busy Saturday night so I didn't bother complaining. -

Highly Recommended! I'm not sure why I haven't been here more often over the years. They always get it right. We came in for a late lunch New years Eve anticipating a late nite. So considering I'm thinking about improving eating habits in 19 I loaded up. I got the platter with 1/2 rack ribs 4 shrimp brochette, borocho beans, guacamole, flour tortillas. My dining companion got a beef enchilada, shrimp brochette rice, and beans. Great margaritas!
The service was great, the atmosphere is wonderful and the food was perfect.!!!!!
