I've been wanting to come here for a while but was always late to make a resy so just note that at least 5 days to a week in advance to make the reservation is optimal if you're planning to go on the weekend.I loved the interior lighting and the small bar that is always fully filled during peak hours. The ambiance was great although it does get quite noisy inside, I started dinner with a cocktail spicy margarita which was phenomenal. I started with the croquettas which were nice, light, and crisp throughout, paired with a delicious jam. Also had the mahi mahi tacos and tuna tostada. Both were good but nothing worth bragging about. Overall a nice spot, I would go back but probably for drinks and apps. The bar looks very welcoming and sits right next to the window so a perfect spot if meeting with others or there alone!

It took another 30 minutes for our server to greet us, and then an additional hour just to get our drinks. We only received two out of the four appetizers we ordered, both of which were cold. When our food finally arrived, it was also cold and bland. Despite our reservation being for 8:00, we did not leave until 10:00. We also had to wait a long time for the check. I am extremely disappointed with the experience.

It was odd that they were out of all wines, but the service, food, and drinks were all excellent. The margarita was delicious, the complimentary chips were a nice touch, and the steak fajitas were fantastic. The steak was a skirt steak, which was a bit different from traditional steak fajitas, but still very tasty. I will definitely be returning!

I ordered Shrimp Empanadas not a single shrimp to be found! Literally fried cornmeal with maybe a 3 green onions. “Fried oysters” it used tobe decent now is like a hush puppies taste. Nachos with old refried beans. Server was nice!

We came without reservations and got lucky with bar seats! Make a reservation prior if you want to be seated.

However, I ordered the fish taco and chicken taco. Both were pretty good! I got the drink special which was a 10/10. Great service as well.Aesthetically pleasing and great vibes. I would return!
