    Chef Contreras makes delicious Sonoran dishes. The food was wonderful as usual. The salsas are so rich and complex. The noise level is quite low out on the patio at 4:30pm. Indoors is much louder so i prefer the outdoor tables.

    The food was excellent and service was excellent as well. The only downside was the fact that they use tapwater for the water they bring to the table and for brewing their iced tea. They really need to invest in a water filtration system

    Love that we're greeted with chips and TWO salsas! The menu is intriguing and ambitious. Chef Jose deserves the recognition he's received from Jame Beard foundation. Service is pleasant, professional and they are on top of it! Can't believe we shared two desserts, both delicious: tres leche cake and chocolate flan.

    Overall, very good. We’ve been here a few times, and I will say it’s become a bit of a madhouse given its recent surge in popularity. We had to wait 20 minutes, even though we had a reservation and the timing of service was off.
