   Great place to try for the ambiance. It’s so gorgeous. We came in for a Sunday brunch, and it was crowded, as I had expected. Food was not the greatest, but the drinks were pretty good. Definitely worth coming for the aesthetic and drinks.

   The food, staff, location, ambience a menu options are great but please don’t charge $4.25 for soda that is 100% flat. If you see no carbonation change out whatever in the machine is causing the terrible tasting soda. Pet peeve for something so small yet uber irritating and laziness.

   Came from Woodland Hills and would do it again. Everything was exceptional. One hint…consider sharing. Portions very generous.

   Great food, great environment, and time well spent here. Only thing I will say tables were a little to close to other people!

   This was not what I expected after hearing great reviews I was disappointed and most likely will not return. Service was good, audience good however the food was not so great.

    Feels like a Mexican coastal resort. Has a bit of a clubby vibe to it, for better or worse. The carnitas were interesting—chunks instead of shredded—but quite good. The surf and turf enchiladas were very average. On the whole, quite pricey but not quite at the same level as Javier’s or Calo Kitchen.
