    Delicious Molcajete but a little on the pricer side then what I’ve had before. Overall definitely had a lot of flavor! Ambiance is trendy with also a live performances singer who sounded really good and when he wasn’t singing the music was a vibe and not so loud that you were able to still carry on a conversation in your table. Drinks were good and the service was excellent! Will definitely be going back to try the rest of the menu!

    We arrived earlier than our scheduled time of 9:30 only to be told the kitchen was closed. We had already waited and paid to park. Very dissatisfied. The reservation times need to be adjusted in this app so there is no confusion for any other guests.

    I was there for a brunch with five other of my girlfriends. We had a great time. Our server was Caroline she was absolutely amazing. She was patient with us she wasn't rushing us. And at the end of the day I had placed a cash envelope with $700 on the table taking it out of my purse meaning to put it back in my purse and I forgot it. We had even left the restaurant and I had gone to the parking garage to get my car and as I was loading up the rest of my girlfriends she came running out and returned the money envelope to me! Caroline is not only an amazing server she's also an amazing person! There are still good people in this world!!!

    heard really good reviews but my experience was decent, service was pretty slow we waited 30 minutes + just for server to come get the bill, carne asada fries & quesadilla was good, ceviche was okay & drinks were good also, overall probably wouldn’t come back but great aesthetic

    If you will be dining, late night, please prepare to not having a full menu to chose from. We found this out after making our reservation and showing up to the place. Would have been good to have known this ahead of time. You will only have option of 3 choices of street tacos.
