    I rarely write negative reviews, but this was not a good experience. We had reservations, but were sat on the patio despite lots of open tables inside. I was sweating during dinner. They were playing 80’s dance music out there, but inside appeared to have a much better atmosphere. Our food arrived about 3 minutes after we ordered and we were done within 15-20 minutes of sitting down. I ordered the filet bone marrow tacos. I asked the waiter to make sure the onions were sautéed (I can’t have raw onion). When they brought the food, there were no onions despite the waiter saying they were already sautéed the way they came on the menu. The meat was chewy and the tacos had zero flavor. I didn’t even finish one of them. Again, I rarely write negative reviews, but this was my single worst dining experience in DFW, and I have lived here for 19 years.

    I took my parents for the first time & everything was phenomenal. I would’ve given 5 stars however when we ordered the pulpo chicharones they were out, I ordered the niña fresa & they were also out, finally I ordered a bottle of wine & they were also out of the kind we wanted. Nevertheless we had a great time & ordered alternatives that were delicious.
