This restaurant is fantastic! The food is top-notch, and the cocktails are exceptional. The atmosphere is perfect for a fine dining experience. I ordered the seastorm, which is a type of ceviche. For just $17, I received a generous portion filled with more shrimp than I could finish. Don't miss out on this new gem!
Beautiful interior! The fish tacos and green sauce were excellent. I had the tamarind margarita with mezcal instead of tequila, and it was delicious. I’ll definitely be back!
Beautiful room. Excellent, authentic Mexican food. Big selection of tequilas, and a mean house margarita!
My husband and I enjoyed dinner at this restaurant last night to celebrate his birthday. The owner seated us in one of their lovely round booths, and we were warmly welcomed by our friendly server, Lindsey. She was well-informed about the menu and provided excellent service; her approach felt more like ensuring we had a great time rather than just trying to upsell us. The margaritas were fantastic and arrived quickly. The support staff was very attentive, promptly bringing us chips and salsa. One highlight was the unique way they served the guacamole—a woman came by with a cart and prepared it fresh right in front of us. Our meals were outstanding; I was particularly impressed with the carnitas, rice, and homemade tortillas. To top off the evening, they surprised us with fried ice cream complete with a sparkler candle for my husband's birthday—a really fun presentation! We wrapped up the night chatting with the owner. It was a perfect evening. I can’t say enough great things about the food, the ambiance, and the wonderful staff. We’ll definitely be back! Thank you, Beto!
