Appetizer is tasty and food was good nice flavor. Chips good too.They have happy hour until 8pm which is cool but three choices only for $6.00 but the drinks were okay. I was there from 6pm to about 1am and had several margaritas and did not feel it. 🤷‍♀️. But promise did not taste bad the drinks were good and not water down.Unisex bathrooms. But at least not gross or smelly.Decent spot and great ambiance. Clean and fun restaurant and turns into a party after hours which is cool. The music is more house, Latin and dance. Sprinkles of hip hop. You can also sign up to ride bull which is cool. - Lola
