    Amazing. Some of the tables are very close together but if you’re outgoing it’s easy to talk to others next to you. Food is good, portions are great for the price. We got the Surf and Turf burger and the carne asada tacos as entrees. Guac and salsa trio for apps and we shared a drink for two. Server was attentive given how busy it looked. Was good about helping us with allergies.

    The food was incredible! We had two people and had 3 plates plus 1 side. It was the perfect amount and there were so many other dishes we want to try next time we go!

    Food is good, ambiance is like a club with the music - would be better if they played more low key music during the day and saved the club jams for dinner.

    Excellent food and service. Very friendly staff. The menu wasn't overwhelming, so it was easy to order from. The quality of the food was absolutely fantastic. The Shrimp Aguachile was top notch, as was the Pork Shank Pibil. The tortillas were freshly hand made. Overall, great food. The restaurant should really be playing Latin music instead of whatever music they had on. It would be a nice touch to add to the authenticity. Highly recommend it here!

    Thank you for your thoughtful review, Samuel. We're thrilled that you enjoyed our signature dishes like the Shrimp Aguachile and Pork Shank Pibil, as well as our freshly handmade tortillas. Your suggestion to play Latin music is greatly appreciated, and we look forward to welcoming you back soon. Cheers!

    Took about 20-30 minutes for waitress to take our order. We sat in the middle of 2 large groups and every time they had to get up or a worker came up, they had to go right in between the tables so we had a whole lot of glutes in our faces and on our table. Not to mention our table was VERY wobbly. Spent about $200 for mediocre food; expected more quality. I’m Hispanic and the food they serve is definitely not worth the price they sell it for. Only good thing was the alcoholic drinks. I would come back only for the drinks, no food.

    Food fine. Drinks ok. Overpriced. Music does not go with the Mexican restaurant vibe.
