   Beautiful space and atmosphere, but it felt like a Mexican restaurant sports bar. 6 huge tv’s flanking each other across 2 bars with sports on all of them and it over powers the beautiful atmosphere it could be for a nice restaurant. No Mexican feel. The website makes it seem like an elegant place and it is a just normal pretty sports bar. The food was indifferent, lack of authenticity and pricey for what it was. Two of the four taquitos came empty (no filling) and the empanadas were empty (no filling) and over fried. Tacos were good but over priced. It was more than NYC prices. The food needs some chef research as the flavors felt manufactured. The guacamole flight was tiny for the price and everything, I mean everything had way too many onions. Everything we tried all tasted the same. Flavor profile was way missing. The chips were stale as they were made early in the day. Drinks were good but many mistakes. The rims were wrong per the menu. And the waiter was deer in headlights when asked about it. Service was just ok and waiter was surly and inexperienced and we felt rushed like he wanted to turn the table. He didn’t know what was brought to the table, dropped off the food and walked away. We were left taste testing our food to see who’s was who’s as it all comes on the same plate. He had some comments that were not appreciated. Never offered to fix the food mistakes and we were charged in full for the restaurant mistakes. Overall, the place looks nice, but way too pricey for Mexican food that is just mediocre. Felt like it was their “soft opening” even though they opened in March. Maybe we’ll try it again one day in the future when they have more “food” experience.

   Great experience but the noise level was a bit too high. It was difficult to hear what anyone was saying at our table. The service was top notch though and the food and drinks were excellent.

   The concept is there but the food menu needs to be revamped. Choices are too limited. Even with a tapas theme tacos should not be a la carte. We ordered a side of beans that came in a tiny cup and seemed like they came right out of a can.

   Food was very good; a moderately priced limited menu. Acoustics were poor as we could barely engage in conversation with our two guests. Food service was poorly timed with appetizer arriving with entree. Time should help in working out the kinks.

   First time dining there. Beautiful place, super fresh ingredients! The nachos are better than any that you've had. All the tacos were delicious. We had two different servers because of the storm and both were super attentive, friendly and amazing!

   It’s our first time there. We weren’t very savvy about what was on the menu, but we ordered the Corkscrew Camaron and it was excellent. The food has a Mexican flair with just enough spiciness. We’ll definitely go back.

    Our server was excellent. She was very attentive and came over to us immediately after being seated. The drinks were mediocre at best. Expensive with little to no alcohol. The food itself was very good however, it seemed like it was so rushed. We ordered two appetizers, and those were delivered to the table along with one of the meal options. We were not given time to enjoy the appetizers before all of our meals were delivered. I know there was a show going on at the odium across the street however not everybody who was having a meal there tonight was going to that show and needed to be out the door. Not my favorite dinner experience.
