    We love this neighborhood place. Great margaritas and super authentic flavors. The best approach to the menu IMHO) is to get a cocktail w:guac and chips while you contemplate the near future. While nibbling and sipping, pick a selection of tacos, ceviche,appetizers and other small plates adequate for your party. We love the carne asada, de lechon and camaron tacos. Oh, the birria and consommé is amazing too. Just go, and bring at least four people. Make reservations.

    This was my first time here! I will definitely be back. The staff was super friendly. They were also so really happy, and check with the kitchen for ingredients to ensure no one in our party was eating something they couldn’t. The food also came very quickly.
