    I loved everything we ordered, but my wife preferred the Panza taco over the Al Pastor, but we did finish all the tacos… 3 each and we shared a side of rice and beans and a Brussel sprout tostada, which was good but the beans on it threw us off. I suppose it made the brussel sprouts stick to the tostada. I also had a couple ounces of their whiskey barrel picks which were delicious as well and not too pricy! Stagg and Weller Full Proof picks were perfect! Stagg old fashioned was good, too. Not too sweet!

    The staff was very friendly, the food arrived very quickly, and everything was delicious! We will definitely return in the summer when the windows are fully open. It has a bit of a rooftop vibe on one side.

    We were able to sit at the counter by the window and watch all the passersby. The pimento spread was amazing and the service was incredible.

    It was amazing. Our server Lesly was great and very knowledgeable about the menu. She went above and beyond to ensure that our experience was a great one. A member of my party had an onion allergy and the chef was able to accommodate it. Chef Javier even came out to make sure everything turned out well. The manager was on top of everything as well. The margaritas were yummy and the tacos were delicious. 10/10 Will come back
