2.0 of 5 stars. Vastly overated by reviewers here. Think of TdS as an upscale Taco Bell that serves booze (good margueritas). TdS just doesn't justify any more to be said.

Not Kid Friendly; Rude Staff; Poor Customer Service

My friend and I went into the restaurant w/ our two little girls (age 9 months) to have lunch. It was 12:30p or later and there was no line. We went to the table w/ our girls and the plan was to have one of us...

something different

The line is usually out the door, especially for dinner. Try going around 2pm on Saturday when the line is short. The fish tacos, cheese dip and margs are great. It's a great alternative to the usual mexican.
