I know a TON of hot waitresses there. Nice mixture of high school 18 year olds and LSU nursing students

Went there when it first opened and then again recently. The open patio area is really nice when the weather cooperates.

The first time I went, I thought the food was mediocre at best. But the time I went recently, the food was much much better. I would recommend the place on atmosphere alone, but they really stepped up the food there as well. I don't remember the prices being unreasonable either.

There was a southwestern egg roll appetizer that we got that was incredible.

Cool place, but I think the food is only decent and over-priced.

Food is not good. Switch it to El gato negro right up the street if you can.

My review ( for what it's worth ) is simple. This place is not worth the 1 hour 15 minute wait for a table we had to endure.

Normally, I would have walked away then, but, the wife and her friend were very excited about this place.

Don't see myself going back unless the wife and her buddy have their hearts set.

Food was okay, the salsa was horrible, service was bad, and I don't think I would go back, because I enjoyed Carretas more (if that is telling)
