    The menu was very difficult since it was all in Spanish. We had to constantly have our server translate. The margaritas were very weak, and the wine pours very small. Only one vegetarian entree was available. Food for the most part was ok but waaaaaaay overpriced and small portions. There was no option on the tip screen to pay 20%, the norm these days. The women's bathroom barely had lighting, making it difficult to see. The restaurant interior was the highlight of the visit. We had high hopes for this new restaurant and were looking forward to a yummy, filling Mexican dinner. All 6 of us, upon leaving, said we would never return and wonder how this restaurant will make it in the long term.

    Second visit, not as good as the first time. The sea bass ceviche was missing the subtle heat. The shrimp ceviche was completely rare, not "cooked" with citrus at all. They brought out our mains before we had finished our appetizers. Portion size on the duck tacos had shrunk. The need to work out some kinks in food timing, and food prep.

    Wonderful and creative meal with great service. Foody experience with delicious meat and seafood options with stellar cocktails and amazingly deep tequila menu. Great addition to Fort Collins scene!

    The food was unique and exceeded expectations. The guac with pork belly is what I hope to dream about tonight. The cocktails were a treat that forced me out of my normal drink routine in the best way possible.

    First time visit and it won’t be our last! Excellent service! We had the ceviche which was excellent with a subtle spice. We also had the duck tacos, which were stuffed with meat, delicious!

    Best food in town. The sauces are amazing. The sea bass, chicken mole, esquite, plantain enchilada and rib eye tacos were all spot on. The drinks are amazing, and although the margs are delicious, the other cocktails are definitely worth trying. I also had a quava desert that was SOOO delicious. The atmosphere is loud, so not the best spot if you are trying to have a group conversation.

    I liked the decor and everyone was very friendly. The drinks were excellent and served quickly. This place has promise but needs to improve food quality to justify the expense and perhaps expand the menu. The portions are small.

    Amazing Food! Concientis Service (but, seems they are still defining their service style). Comfortable Atmosphere. Did I mention the great food. The Duck Taco is amazing! We got a deconstructed Guava Creme Brûlée that was one of the best desserts I have ever had! Go here. You will be glad you did!
