Chris Osorio· 5 months agoThis rec center has excellent staff who are kind and respectful. My kids love the pool, my wife and I take advantage of their fitness center that has everything you need to transform your body the way you want to. Gabe, Donald, Monisha (hope I spelled it right lol) and everyone else make this rec center awesome!
jewel B· 2 years agoCasa Tina's gives an authentic Mexican dining experience. Enjoy a casual dinner from a very large menu, and on some evenings, you will see the aerial dancers! There are plenty of vegan and gluten-free options. This visit was a girl's night out. We had great hostess and table service with no reservations or wait at 5:30 on a Thursday evening! Tacos Guadalajara and side of plantains were yummy, the portion is perfect if you're hungry or take home leftovers for later!
Zeke Parisi· 9 months agoThe referees of the Basketball game must’ve gotten their ref certificates from the bottom of the cereal box. They remind me of the three blind mice. Calling bad calls all night long . They threw off the energy of the entire night and Were continuously making bad calls / no calls at all . Would love to leave a 0 star review but I have to leave a 1 star so I can share my feelings
Brice Arlt· 9 months agoThese guys host a basketball tournament that’s allowing unnecessary physicality and unreasonably biased referees. It got so bad and out of control one of the team players got slapped in the face and the refs took it with no care and awarded the ball to the posing team. This isn’t the first time participating in their event with these type of actions continuously happening. If The coordinator doesn’t do something to stop the unnecessary physicality children are going to continue to get hurt. It isn’t just a fluke I would have let it slide and not gone to the reviews but it has happened every time my family has been too this event something has to give.
Rafael A. Milanes, Jr.· 8 months agoI can't understand why they charge $20 per person to see my Grandsons basketball game on Saturdays! Not $5, not $10 but $20 per person! Someone should look into this.
