    Some of the best food we’ve ever had. Cocktails, apps, entrees and desserts are all outstanding. The pork chop is a must try, as is the ceviche. Everything is delicious and really unique.

    The food was excellent and well presented. Split the corn salad and we both enjoyed the textures and taste. The queso fundido exceeded expectations. The crispy potato sticks added a nice touch and there was just enough heat with the spices. I had the dinosaur short rib and had to bring a great deal home. The meat was beautifully cooked and the seasonings just right. My husband had the quesadillas. The servings were large enough for a hearty eater. Service was okay. Did appreciate the waiter taking my cocktail off the tab after i didn't like it. Good beer selection

    Outstanding appetizers, entrees, & drinks. The bartender Justin made me some off menu specialty drinks that were some of the best I’ve ever had. Great place with food you won’t find elsewhere, great evening.

    My husband and I had a very delicious meal accompanied by impeccable service. We shared a white fish ceviche app, the roasted corn salad, and the tomahawk pork chop. All were outstanding. This meal was not inexpensive, but it was definitely worth it.

    The appetizers were great. However the short rib was too fatty and drowning in sauce. Lastly, the service was lacking. No one ever checked on us after we received each course or asked us for a second drink/cocktail.
