This is the most fun authentic restaurant in the city, it’s not a chain and the owner is always there making sure everyone has a great time. Delicious food, drinks, and very friendly service. 10/10 recommend this restaurant for a fun birthday dinner! They had a live band and performers in the heated back patio, it’s always a party here!

Tried this restaurant for the first time and my overall impressions are quite good. Food was really tasty other than the pastor tacos, which were not bad but lacked some flavour. Cocktails are good and the menu was quite extensive, lots of options to choose from. Also, it was nice to see that they can accommodate large groups.

If you’re in the area in a Tuesday, it’s a must. 5$ tacos, beer, tequila shots. The food is very authentic and never disappoints. Also the ceviche is the perfect appetizer so fresh and delicious
