    Service was good, waiter helpful, food prompt, cooking fresh, environment clean and welcoming. Food Fairly hot/ spicy , but great variety, and creative. Only thing we found a bit “odd” was the flavour of the corn tortillas, but that was probably our lack of familiarity, since we are used to flour not corn.
