Feedback
Nestled in a charming location, this restaurant presents a compelling mix of ambiance and culinary offerings, though experiences vary widely. While some guests rave about the delicious house margaritas and standout dishes like birria tacos and crispy fish tacos, others criticize bland flavors and slow, disorganized service, especially during busy times. Despite high prices for certain items, many diners appreciate the quality of ingredients and generous portion sizes. With attentive servers in some instances and indifferent service in others, it's clear that improvements are needed. Overall, this venue displays potential worth exploring, but consistency is key.
Chicken tinga nachos are excellent. Bar service was good also. Frozen margaritas were worth it.
Super expensive. 45$ for fijitas that apparently feed up to 3 people but they were the same size as the normal <20$ fijitas at other Mexican places. Drinks are outrageous and are very small.
The restaurant wasn't very busy, but that's probably because not everyone knows how incredible the food is here yet! You should definitely come and try this place out. My companion had the Crispy Chignon Tacos, with two beef and two potato (he liked the beef better). I tried a Korean taco, a crispy fish taco, and the ahi tuna tostada. We couldn't stop eating and there wasn't a single crumb left on our plates. The tostada was particularly outstanding - I'll be dreaming about it for days. We also tried the house margaritas and they were delicious as well. We're looking forward to coming back and trying more dishes from the menu!
Tacos were good but the elote cup was amazing. Food: 4 Service: 5 Atmosphere: 4 Price per person: $20–30
