    Charming restaurant and bar in old town. Sat at the friendly bar, and enjoyed a cocktail, and a flight of great mezcal along with Tacos, and house special guacamole and chips/salsas. All food was presented nicely and was fresh and delicious. Very fun place.

    Maybe it’s because it was a Sunday but we waited about 20 minutes to be seated even though the restaurant was about 25% full. Once seated, the service was good and four of the five dishes we ordered were very good and reasonably priced. Interesting food combinations but not the place to go to if you want a salad.

    Service is always good here, but this visit it was outstanding. Thanks to server Nick for being so quick and attentive. The tacos are amazing -- really intense flavors. The chips and house salsa are great, but for an extra $2 you get generous helpings of four more salsas and it's a damn good deal. Excellent cocktails. Reservations very much recommended.
