Really good wagyu steak frites and wagyu tacos. We also tried the hummus which was really good and the lettuce wraps. I was surprised to like the lettuce wraps that had a lot of mushrooms, which I don’t like that much, but the way they were seasoned had me liking them. Staff was friendly and attentive.

We met at La Condesa and tried a few things. The pork entree was OK - seasoning was good but it was really dry. guacamole was good. THe steak quesadilla was delicious. Wait staff was pretty negligent and not friendly and focused on flipping tables.
