Well done outside/inside dining. High quality ingredients and exceptional preparation. Ask for recommendations, because they recommend the best of the best. This is not a a good Mexican restaurant; it is a great food that happens to be Mexican.

There were 6 of us and our service was impeccable. We ordered several tacos and ceviches, plus patatas bravas, elote, and beans. We had a few cocktails and a couple of mocktails. We finished up with churros. Every single thing was delicious! We will definitely be back

The location is great; outside on the patio. It was Wednesday lunchtime so it was relatively quiet. There was a good mix of sun and shade. The service was terrific. The server was well versed on the menu and made some wonderful recommendations, when asked. He was very warm, friendly and considerate. The food was fresh and tasty. Two of us shared the Salt & Lime Salad with Shrimp, as well as the Cerviche Yucatan. Both were delicious. The shrimp was large and a decent amount. We shared the Lava Cake and the Churros for dessert. Good portions of all food. Delicious! Plan to come back and try other options.

First time, fish taco was very good, called Tequila came out wrong , service was very good. The Asada was dry and disappointing, club music was loud and was in contrast to the location and mexican theme.
