Fantastic experience! We took our 16 year old daughter, had reservations for dinner near the stage. Wonderful jazz music and vibe. We arrived right at 7, out by 9. Pasta, calamari, cheese fondue, all were excellent.

Excellent food and service. Very friendly staff. The menu wasn't overwhelming, so it was easy to order from. The quality of the food was absolutely fantastic. The Shrimp Aguachile was top notch, as was the Pork Shank Pibil. The tortillas were freshly hand made. Overall, great food. The restaurant should really be playing Latin music instead of whatever music they had on. It would be a nice touch to add to the authenticity. Highly recommend it here!
