   It took a while to get here. Wish I could say the wait was worth it. It was just “Okay” the menu had a few highlights but mostly felt like alot of ingredients were selected not because they go well together but to make a statement. Due to this do not expect the menu items to have a traditional taste. For some, untraditional Mexican is good and for others it’s not. Thats why I say it’s “Okay”

   My only challenge with this wonderful restaurant was finding the front door:) The house margarita was perfect and full of flavor. The waitstaff is very attentive - your water glass will be full! The ambiance was warm and visually this was a beautiful spot. and the food.... that was so delicious! The presentation was art. I look forward to revisiting on my next trip here.

   We had a great experience Friday night! The service was amazing, the drinks were delicious, and the food was great. We enjoyed the chips and salsa, oysters, and the ribeye with broccolini.

   Terrible terrible service. It took over 30 minutes for them to bring drinks and when she did she left it corked on the table for 10 extra minutes while she helped another table. She made us pass everything across the full table instead of walking around. She had us pour our own wine. She spilled a glass of wine on my friend. And it took asking 3 times to get a steak knife for our steak. We were definitely not prioritized because we are younger adults but we spent just as much and deserve good service as well. Very disappointing and the food was lackluster.

   The food was good, some of the food was over salty, the waiter was amazing but the dishes weren’t explain. Music to loud.

   Very creative and delicious food and drinks. Had the Guava margaritas. One virgin and one regular. They were both good and found that the taste became better once paired with the crab guacamole. I also had another mango margarita that was sweeter and more to my liking. The crab guacamole was our favorite of the three dishes we had. The short rib tacos were beautifully presented and delicious. Nice spices. The wagu empanadas were tasty but not as good as the other two for us. The staff is great and very friendly.

It’s wonderful to know the crab guacamole was your favorite, and we’re delighted to hear you also loved the beautifully presented short rib tacos with their nice spices. We appreciate your feedback on the wagyu empanadas and will keep it in mind as we continue to refine our dishes.
