Amazing experience from start to finish! Even though we didn’t have a reservation, we were warmly welcomed. The hostess was incredibly helpful and quickly found us a spot at the bar. The hospitality started right there! When we sat down, I wasn’t sure what I wanted to drink, but I was really impressed by the personalized service. Nicolas, our bartender, truly made a difference! Not only did he bring a delicious mango shot for everyone at the bar, but he also recommended a drink that turned out to be one of the best choices of the night. We tried three different dishes, and each one was delicious! The presentation was on point, and the atmosphere is super cozy, with a charming aesthetic that perfectly matches the great vibe of the place. The service was top-notch, with so much attention to detail, making the experience even more memorable. I will definitely be coming back often since this restaurant is close to home and offers an experience worth repeating. Big thanks to the whole team, especially Nicolas, for the excellent service!

Great experience! Had the chance to visit twice over the weekend and both times had a great time. First time sat at the bar by myself, Nico at the bar makes the best passion fruit margaritas ever! Tried the fajitas and oh so good! Next day went back with a group of friends to share the experience and I loved it even more! Our waitress (Julissa) was very attentive and friendly, we tried many dishes and cocktails. All delicious. The guacamole there is just the best; loved the chile relleno as well. As a cocktail lover, definitely have a great selection and tried many of them. All very good. Very impressed. Atmosphere is great, music is not that loud so it was great for us to chat and have a great time. Recommend making a reservation since the place is small and fills up quick but they are doing a great job accommodating and serving so everyone has a chance to enjoy the place. We got there 7pm hoping to be able to sit upstairs, wasn’t available at the moment but after dinner we kept trying cocktails and they were nice enough to offer us to move upstairs, which we did and ended up leaving at closing time! (Shout out to Carlos for the great service upstairs) Parking available. If there’s anything I’d say this place is missing to win my heart fully is live music. Otherwise, perfect.

We stopped in for the first time last night for an early dinner. It happened to be Wednesday which is half price margaritas, yay! So of course we tried the house margaritas, delicious! Extra points for having tajin as an option for the rim. For starters we had the Queso Fundido with chorizo. Our entrees were the Chilies Rellenos and the Camaron Street Tacos. Everything was absolutely phenomenal. The perfect flavorful food for a cold December night. Our entire experience from start to finish was wonderful. Great service, cozy and inviting atmosphere, absolutely amazing food and drinks. We’ll be back.

Hidden Gem! Great food and service. Place is small and fills up fast, so I recommend making a reservation. Sat at the bar and tried a few things. Presentations of food orders going by me looked great! My dishes definitely didn't disappoint! They were making a lot of cool looking drinks also. Will absolutely try to make it back here if im working in the area again!

Food here is absolutely delicious, the space itself is small so definitely book ahead of time, staff do their best to accommodate the high demand. Tres leches cake was the highlight of our night.
