    Amazing & delicious! Bean dip was so good, not sure how it’s done! Had chicken and pork tamales, super yum. Then we had skirt steak, Cornish hen, masa & cactus special, diablo shrimp - all were really great, amazing flavors. Gave ambiance 4 - nothing wrong, just a comfortable little place, but don’t expect fancy (I prefer not fancy). Service was excellent- attentive but not overwhelming. Would absolutely recommend.

    10/10 experience. I reserved this spot for my best friends birthday and it did not disappoint. Staff were attentive and thoughtful. The team even wrote her a birthday card. The food was phenomenal. All flavors mesh well in every dish. Pulpo a la Parilla, Pollo a la Leña, and the empanadas were our favorites. Definitely plan on coming back to try other dishes and for any other celebratory needs.

    We ordered Christmas Tamales from Libertad and I decided to take my husband there for brunch and to pick up the tamales. I'd been there twice before with girlfriends for brunch. Once again it was outstanding, amazing food and very friendly service. We had the Pan de Avo, Panqueques, plus sides of Crispy Potatoes (the crispiest EVER!!!) and Bacon (with a lovely drizzle of maple syrup on them). Everything was just perfect! Will definitely be back again and again.
