    My friend and I went to celebrate her birthday. Our waiter was Liz who was amazing. She was very attentive and informative. She made us feel very welcome and she was very knowledgeable of options in the menu.

    This neighborhood restaurant rivals any experience downtown! The staff is very attentive and friendly. We have so many menu favorites. For an appetizer, the ropa vieja with a side of guacamole and an order of queso fundido are delicious and a great way to start your meal. The mole sauce on the chicken enchiladas is excellent paired with a side of elote. Other entree favorites are the carne asada, barbacoa tocos and fire roasted shrimp. I love this Mexican restaurant with a Latin influence!

    Really amazing service and food. We had drinks and appetizers before going to the Arts Center including the Serbian bread and a plate with speck and burrata and everything was delicious. It’s such a pretty room with a great soundtrack and atmosphere and the service was so personal. It was one of the top restaurant experiences I’ve probably ever had.
