    Comfortable enough place. There were four of us on a Saturday night. Drinks did take 20 minutes to arrive and my wife never did receive her glass of Prosecco. When she inquired about it, she was told that the one bottle they had was not refrigerated. Order was cancelled. The food, however, was excellent. The Mexican Ceviche was very good, as was the Guacamole. The crispy fish tacos (3 per order w/beans and rice) were enjoyed by all and I very much liked my pork belly tacos. Also, for a restaurant that prides itself on their cocktail bar, they had no blended drinks of any kind (or iced tea). Servers were extremely friendly. The main glitch, it appears, is the slow pace of the bar. Restaurant felt a little pretentious. Again, food quite good but doubtful we will return.

    Food was excellent, but the service is terrible. There were four of us and 2 main courses were served 15 minutes before the others. We had to repeatedly ask for water and the drinks were super slow. One bartender was on break when we ordered....not my problem.

    I recently visited DF (distrito federal) and I have to say, it was a huge letdown. I have been here before but this visit was different. Despite the fact that the restaurant wasn’t busy, the customer care was far from satisfactory. The staff seemed completely disinterested and unresponsive. To make matters worse, I noticed a significant lack of accommodations for people with disabilities. The layout was cramped and difficult to navigate, making it clear that accessibility wasn’t a priority. It was disheartening to see a place that doesn’t consider the needs of all its customers. After enduring subpar service and feeling uncomfortable in the space, I ultimately decided to walk out without dining. I was really looking forward to a nice meal, but the experience was so disappointing that I couldn’t stay. I won’t be returning to DF, and I would advise others to think twice before dining here. There are much better options out there that actually value their customers.

    Enchiladas and pork belly tacos were amazing! Close to the wild rose bar so it’s a lovely area with good vibes.

    I thought this place was great. The staff was so beyond friendly and accommodating. The drinks were delicious we all loved them. We got three different tacos split them all. Each were good. We also got the queso. That was my favorite. The restaurant is super cute.
