    I went later in the night before heading to a nightclub. The upstairs floor had great views, but the cold evening was apparent when sitting next to the windows. The food and drinks were top shelf. If I ever need another pre-game before heading to the nearby nightclub, this is the spot.

    Food was pretty gross. Burnt nachos, fundido was a bag of unmelted cheese in a skillet, tuna was beyond fishy & drowned in mayo. Service was slow. I would strongly recommend skipping this place.

    Vibe was cool but my experience with the food was not good. I got the tortilla salad, which barely had any lettuce on it and the birria that came with it was so hot by the time it got to me the little bit of lettuce in the bowel was basically cooked. Drinks were also very sweet

    Maybe it is me but when I think Mexican I think of unlimited yummy chips and salsa. Not here…it’s $8 or something like that and the portion is very small. We ordered the chips, salsa and guac and it was $16! I understand paying for guacamole but not the other 2 and if you are going to charge it should be somewhat reasonable…. Food was mediocre and service = the food in its mediocrity. Sorry, just being honest.
