A few reviews mentioned waiting excessively, with drinks taking about 10 minutes and food about 45 minutes to arrive. Additionally, busy periods like Sunday afternoons can lead to full capacity, which may deter some customers. There are also mentions of limited menu options, with only five key plates to choose from.

I had a great meal, but you have to factor in time. Homemade food takes a while to come out. It was probably 10 minutes for drinks, 45 for food. I had a couple of delicious tacos.
