My husband and I stumbled on this restaurant thru open table. The food was like no other Mexican restaurant weave ever been too. Delicious. Particularly the pork chop my husband got. It melted in your mouth. The atmosphere was amazing. T Everything was 100%. The only issue we had was how loud the music was. They turned it up about 20 minutes into our meal and once the music was turned up , everyone in the restaurant had to talk louder so they can be heard which increased the noise level even more. This won’t stop us from going back but hopefully they’ll tone it down a bit. The drinks were a work of art. Worth the money!

This neighborhood gem has been on my list for a while. The decor feels like a Southend (Boston) restaurant, very lively & colorful! The food is next level Mexican, not a typical menu of uninteresting dishes, instead creative with familiar dishes like Birra & fish tacos. Also impressive cocktails. Can’t wait to try the bottomless brunch!
