Great ambiance. I met a friend for lunch, and plan to return for dinner sometime soon. The atmosphere is really nice and the food was delicious. I had 2 tacos (El Pastor, and smoked chicken), with a side of Mexican street corn. My friend had the lunch enchiladas with shrimp. Everything was quite tasty and the presentation was great too. The cocktail menu looked really good. I will definitely order from that menu during my next visit!
