   I sat at the bar, Kyle was my server/bartender. Everything was AMAZING! I ordered the elote appetizer. Kyle suggested the bone marrow tacos. 😘 all were very delicious.

   EDUARDO WAS PHENOMENAL! ALL of his recommendations were spot on! You HAVE to ask for Eduardo and request HIS drink! It’s not on the menu but TRUST me when I tell you it’s the BOMB💣💥! We had the short rib (12 out of the 10), chicken+ waffle’s (12 out of 10), açaí bowl (8/10), Wagyu app (7/10), Costra (7/10 ON FLOUR), and SEVERAL other items….OVERALL the experience and food was phenomenal! It’s NOT what’s you’d expect in NOLA! It’s DEFINITELY a “vibe” if that’s what you’re looking for but if you’re looking for mind-blowing cuisine it misses the mark. It IS CLOSE THOUGH! The restrooms are EXCEPTIONALLY CLEAN and the service is STELLAR! We came here twice in one weekend, that’s DEFINITELY saying SOMETHING for Latin-American food in downtown NOLA! I had the birria tacos on 12/6 and I’ll say that these were THE BEST birria tacos in NOLA. Check out my folks @msbelladon on IG for more!

   The ambiance, vibes, decor…10/10! The drinks…10/10! The food was not good AT ALL! The tortilla soup tasted like absolutely nothing. It wasn’t seasoned well. The elote wasn’t good. The broccolini was borderline nasty, but okay. It has this smoked taste that isn’t appeasing. The birria tacos would have been good if they came out hot. There was no cheese pull, which should explain that. The tacos de asada were pretty good. No wow factor, but it wasn’t nasty like the elote and tortilla soup. Now, the black beans and Mexican rice were delicious! Those were the sides that came with the tacos. Overall it’s a no for me to return. The guests with me feel the same!

   Our girls night out was very fun, food was great and people were nice! I had chicken tacos that were to die for. The 3-4 stars I gave was for the pricing, it is pretty high priced, 90$ just for myself included my chicken tacos and 3 short glass drinks….. also one of my drinks had a fruit fly sitting right on top. Usually I’m not one to complain but I asked for a new one. This is what bothered me…… they took the drink and the bar tender scooped the fly up with a straw, put the drink into a shaker, and put it back into the original cup and brought it back to me…… which was very upsetting….. just make a new drink….. I’m not asking for anything for free but 16$ per small glass drink with a fruit fly please just make me another drink…. Like cmon…. But other than that everything was great.

   They charged $14 for a kid's mocktail. They should be ashamed of themselves
