   The food and service are great here. We had the short rib mole, salmon yellow mole, chicken with green mole, and lamb shank, along with the tableside prepared guacamole.  All of them were delicious although the salmon was overcooked.

   The food was delightful. Don't expect your typical Mexican restaurant --the focus on Oaxacan food is really special. Servers were very attentive. We enjoyed our meal greatly.

    Unassuming from the street when you walk in the restaurant is very vibrant. Great cocktails. Diverse menu options. The birria tacos were delicious. The corn side that came with the salmon was incredible. Memelitas were big and flavorful
