    We took a chance from the reviews on open table. We were very pleased with the choice. The restaurant had an authentic vibe. The waiters entree suggestion was spot on. The best guacamole and chips I ever had. Everything we ordered was excellent. Will definitely go back.

    The food was excellent. I had the salmon tacos, one of the chef's specials. I also had one of the specialty drinks for the month. Our server was very nice and came frequently to our table to ask if we needed anything. We were the last table to leave and they didn't rush us.
