I saw the other reviews and thought, hmm can't be too bad three stars... How wrong I was. Food is disgusting and they served me expired beer. This could be an amazing place, view is great, great live music, but the service, hygiene and quality of food was beyond disgusting. I am surprised the department of health does not shit them down there was so much bird shit on the seats it didn't seem safe to eat there... And one look into the kitchen/bar is enough to turn anyone off from going to a reassurance again. Do not come here to eat or drink. The river view and music are the only good things.

Disappointing. We decided to drive across town and try it based on the Yelp reviews and it was definitely a letdown. Not horrible but not particularly good either. On a Friday night at 7:30, it was less than half full. The people at the door were not particularly friendly but little did we know that it would go downhill from there. Our waitress was one of the most surly servers I've ever had anywhere. No greeting, no smile, no eye contact. Just a look of pained exasperation. We asked her a few questions and she simply ignored them. It was not busy. Seriously, the unfriendliness of the staff here is hard to overstate. They just don't give a damn. The food was all over the place. Salsas - excellent, both red and green. Nice and spicy just like we like it. Chips - fresh, but greasy. Chicken enchiladas in mole sauce - quite good. Humongous portion. Steak Tampiquena - just ok. Not really a traditional Tampiquena. About four ounces (or less) of pounded round steak with no topping of any kind. Not bad but a bit pricey for the eleven bucks or so they are asking and not up to the standard that you get at most Mexican joints around town. Beans - Awesome, as many reviewers point out. Some of the best refried beans I've ever had. By far the highlight of the meal. Guacamole - Overwhelmed by the flavor of what I can only guess to be powdered citric acid instead of fresh lime juice. Very odd and not really nice at all. What kind of Mexican restaurant doesn't use fresh limes? Mariachis - insistent and annoying. And a bit much for a place like this really. $35 with two cheap drinks and a totally unwarranted tip.

Dirty! Why I came back here today I have no idea. What part of "I WANT MY BAGEL TOASTED!" is not part of their language. I just don't get why a simple request is never right at this place.

I went here on a sunny spring day with my wife for lunch. It has a cool modern atmosphere with direct views of the capitol from almost any seat. The burger I had was good, but very messy. I think the bun could have been slightly bigger. I like the huge ceilings inside. Overall a good option on the square that I will try again. I think happy hour here could be a good idea especially with summer on the way and their big tap beer selection.
