This place is a hidden gem along the waterfront as it's been pretty low-key since its opening. We loved the food, which was Latin/Asian fusion. Especially delicious were the Elote dip, the gambas al ajillo, and Duck Fried Rice. As for drinks, the Oaxacan Sunset and En Claro were favorites in our group. Service was great - everyone was attentive, friendly and helpful in recommending dishes and drinks. Highly recommend!!

Beautiful location in downtown Plymouth. Very unique menu, food was excellent. Service is top notch, from the hostess to the wait staff to the GM. GM came to check on us twice to make sure everything was perfect. Couldn't recommend it higher. Great celebration spot, date night, etc.

We went on valentine’s night and both got the duck special with mole sauce. It was amazing. The runners need to learn the table numbers though. We were offered others food multiple times

This is like 2 restaurants in one. Downstairs seems like a quiet dining room, upstairs is a large boisterous bar and surrounded by high-top tables. We sat upstairs. The food was excellent, and we received the perfect amount of attention from our enthusiastic waiter. The bar could use more help, as we waited a very long time for our second round of drinks. The ‘birria’ tacos are out of this world delicious if you like short ribs.

Had a great time. Having a shellfish allergy and gluten/egg sensitivity, the menu was limited for me personally. Drinks were delish and our service was great.
