Parking on Essex street is a challenge but easy just around the corner on Common. The service was THE BEST. Fabulous bartender,whose name I didn't catch but wish I did, made us feel so at home. It was great that Mary, one of the owners, also came to sayhi to us. The food was great (I had the yoga bowl with steak, super good) the queso so tasty! Also, the apple dessert wasAMAZING warm, wrapped in phyllo with ice cream on the side. It was a great way to kick off the weekend. I'll be back!

Called our order in, had a 10 minute wait upon arrival but met a very hospitable server who sat and chatted with me at the bar with me while I waited so the time flew by.

Unfortunately, in that time, they moved and the new restaurant is not as warm and no authentic Mexican artwork. The food is still amazing and theservice is very friendly. They have the best mole sauce in the world!

Loved the atmostphere, staff was kind, and was nice to see the all gender inclusive bathrooms. But seriously, amazing chili. Was sad to have to leave early and couldn 't finish it all. I WILL be returning.
