Overall, the food was very good. Their tacos were yummy and their chips and salsa are really great. Their Carnitas were really good and so were their chicken enchiladas. Was not so impressed with the guacamole because it had a lot of other stuff in it not just avocado and spices. Also, the rice wasn’t terribly exciting, but it wasn’t bad. The service was outstanding. The cocktails were great and I think it’s a fun place to go eat and the food is good

Fourth time eating here and another outstanding meal. Restaurant and bar was packed on a wet Friday night and full of energy. All dishes (steak, chicken and moussaka) were excellent. Creative cocktail selections.
