With a three-star rating out of 27 reviews on Yelp so far, the new bar has gotten a mixed response from its clientele.

Mike A., who was among the first Yelpers to review the new spot on April 28, wrote, "I've eaten here twice now. Both visits, I had excellent service. Same server both times. ... I've tried the fajitas, carnitas, bistec ranchero [and] queso."

Yelper Anna R. added, "Really enjoyed the street tacos (bistec Mexicano and carnitas) and salsas. They're not Tex-Mex, which is why I liked it so much (I really miss authentic Mexican food). Their refried beans were the most authentic I've had yet since moving to Arlington. I'll definitely be back."
