Fodor's Review:

The food is decent, if a bit pricey, but what you come here for are the marvelous margaritas. They're in all sorts of tropical flavors, including lilikoi (passion fruit). Lunch is the usual Mexican combination platters (tacos, enchiladas, chiles rellenos) as well as burgers and sandwiches. Dinner entrées include fresh fish, killer fajitas, bean-and-rice combinations, and steaks.

We drove out to this restaurant because it was recommended in a guidebook. My husband was parking the car, and I went in. There was a large sign at the entrance that said "please seat yourself". I went and sat at the only table that was clean, as most of the tables in the restaurant were empty but had not been cleared. A waitress came by and asked what we wanted to drink, and I said that I would wait for my husband. He came in shortly and sat down and we looked at the menu. Suddenly I hear someone behind me shouting "YOU CAN'T SIT HERE!" I turned around to find a man towering over me with an angry look on his face. He was one of the waitstaff. My husband said "but the sign says seat yourself, and this is the only clean table".
He man growled "I don't care, you can't sit here - so MOVE!" We got up, stunned, and started to walk out. My husband was incensed, and went toward the bar/back area to see if he could find a manager or someone to talk to about the situation, but there was no one there, and the angry waiter or busboy or whatever followed him and tried to argue with him. I was afraid that this man would hit my husband, because the man was obviously unstable for some unknown reason, so we left with the crazy man shouting at us. What I don't understand is where was the management, or other waitstaff? No one in the restraunt seemed to notice the exchange, as if this sort of thing happens every day. Eat here at your own risk.
