   Delicious dinner out with 6 friends celebrating a birthday. Appetizers, margaritas, dinner were all delicious and the churros a perfect birthday treat. The margaritas were especially good, with such a gourmet variety made with fresh fruit juices and the sangria was not sweet and wonderful. Service kind and helpful.

   It’s still delicious!! This restaurant is well run, very friendly staff and the food is out of this world. Tried the Truffle and mushroom empanadillas, and they did’t disappoint, and for dessert, nothing’s better than their famous churros !!

   Val was our fantastic server. We sat outside and it was very pleasant. Lamb, skirt steak and shrimp enchiladas were all amazing. It has a very different vibe than any place on el Paseo - innovative Mexican food !

   Restaurant is nice inside. Food has good flavor, is prepared, and presented well. They were severely understaffed in the dining room. But it appeared to be the norm for them. Hostess bussing all tables with manager while trying to greet guests and maintain order. 2 people to wait on all the tables of the restaurant. One server told us he had served between 35-40 tables that particular evening. We were never offered refills even of water. When we finally got someone’s attention they told us the bar was closed. We had eaten half of our meal with no water, it was tough. They were very polite and apologetic about our experience but it still doesn’t change that charging $300 with tip for a dinner for 4 comes with an expected level of service. You can’t charge top tier pricing and have service like a chain restaurant or even much worse. Unfortunately we heard a few tables complaining about similar issues or missing items. Hope they get the management in order, seems like a great place.
