    This was a 10/10 experience, all thanks to Pete! If you have the chance to request him, do it—you won’t be disappointed. We let him choose every course, and each one was absolutely perfect! His knowledge of the menu was impressive, and he was a pleasure to talk to throughout the meal. Honestly, how he’s not running the place is beyond me! Can’t wait to go back!

    A truly unique, up scale experience with Mexican fare and delicious drinks. The tequila and mezcal list was extensive, and the dining was one of a kind. The menu is not long, but what they serve is done so well. A little pricey for the portion size. Highly recommend for a unique and upscale dining experience. I will be back next time I’m in the Dallas Design District.

    Honestly, one of our favorite meals! Everything we had was outstanding. We did the Elegante Experience tasting menu and it was the absolute right choice. We made reservations at the bar and really enjoyed the ambience. We had a great time and we can’t wait to go back.

    Great energy in this place. Katie at the bar was incredible. The sope, okra and shishitos, the machete, and al pastor were amazing.

    We loved the experience it’s like a beautiful candle light type of experience couples can experience. It’s good for dates if you want to own your women
