    Great food and cocktails. Food was delicious and came out really quick, not much waiting between courses. Cocktails were interesting, some ones I hadn't seen before, the avocado, ice tea and dill ones were tasty. Service was fantastic, really nice and friendly staff. I had noted it was for a birthday in the booking and when my partner was away from the table they checked with me it was a birthday and gave us a candle in the dessert and a glass of limencello. Very nice of them, totally unprompted and stuff like this really adds to experience. Would recommend this place to anyone.

    Love this place. Only second time visiting, but it is a really cool spot. Great for that fun, laugh aloud dinner and drinks night out with friends, no pretentiousness or fancy frills… straight up tequila shots, margaritas, and tacos ❤️. Margaritas are amazing, and the food is really good! Last time we went with a group and we ordered a selection of taco’s and margaritas to try as much as possible on the menu. The tacos are amazing!!! This time with just the two of us, I was able to pick my favourites, which wasn’t easy as everything is kinda delicious! I also love both the J-Dilla and the triple-z so we ordered them as sides with our tacos! Staff are amazing, really friendly and super attentive… never a dry glass 😁 100% recommend this place, and I will definitely be going back.
