My friend had the skirt steak tacos and enjoyed them. I went with the special (a pork dish) and it was so good! The spicy margarita off the happy hour menu was also a home run. I feel like the limited menu is one reason all the dishes were so good.The service was great, as our waitress was very nice and super helpful in making recommendations. The restaurant is small but it's a cute vibe.

Our selections included the White Bean Puree, Papas Verde, Shaved Brussel, Elite, Charred Broccoli, Smoked Half Chicken, Skirt Steak Tacos, and for dessert, the Concha. This place is definitely perfect for sharing and having fun exploring the wonderful array of flavors in each dish.

We even mentioned going back during our weekend visit to Phoenix because it was that good! As someone who follows a gluten-free diet, I was thrilled with their gluten-free menu, the variety of options available, and the servers' extensive knowledge. The Karaage, which are like gourmet chicken tenders, was outstanding! The guacamole was fresh and flavorful, and the Duroc pork belly tacos were bursting with taste. They thoughtfully split the order into one corn and one flour tortilla to accommodate our preferences, which I appreciated. The papas verde were also delicious. The shaved Brussels sprouts were just "okay" compared to the other dishes, but still good. The key lime cheesecake (gluten-free and featured in the photos) had an incredible key lime flavor and was topped with fresh fruit.

Every entrée we tried was delicious, including the Brussels Salad, Romaine Salad, Empanada, salmon tacos, pork belly tacos, and ceviche. Each dish was unique and unlike anything we've had before. You’re really missing out if you don’t give this place a try. We can’t wait for our next visit!

We ordered takeout, and the salmon tacos and quesadilla were excessively oily, with a pool of oil collecting at the bottom of the box. The ribeye, which was meant to be cooked medium well, was so charred it was inedible. The skirt steak tacos were tough as well. Perhaps dining in the restaurant might offer a better experience, but after tonight, I wouldn’t recommend wasting your time or money here.

The menu features tapas-style dishes. We tried the Karaage, pork belly tacos, the special of the day—tostada—and the banana bread dessert. The Karaage was our favorite, followed closely by the tostada. A huge shoutout to the chef and the staff. It was worth every penny!

Tried the salmon taco but I’ve had better ones. The texture of the salmon taco is a bit plain. Elote(Mexican corn) tastes quite heavy. Still, highly recommend the karaage and mussels! Great service and good vibe.

Our waitress was friendly and accommodating. I do think the guacamole could use some improvement, and the chicken was a bit too oily for my taste. However, the ceviche and lake bass were delicious. The atmosphere was wonderful, with a beautiful view. They offer indoor seating, high tops, and outdoor options. Parking is free at the front, but it's somewhat limited.

I tried the salmon taco, but I had better. The texture of the Lachstaco is a little clear. Elote (Mexical corn) tastes pretty heavy. Still, highly recommend the carats and mussels! Great service and good mood.

Our intention was to do a bit of bar hopping, but we enjoyed setting and eating so much, we landed there for the whole evening. The food was amazing! We usually split plates, but a highlight that I recommend is the muscles great taste with some spices (as it contains jalapeños), which they really have to a new level of delicious! Grace was an amazingly friendly server that offers great recommendations, I am particularly pleased with their wine proposals. Overall, a very nice evening spent and I definitely recommend checking it.

It was perfect. The service, the food, the ambience, the presentation were all top notch. The food is tapas-style. We ordered the Karaage, the pig bell Tacos, the Tostada, which was the special of the day and the banana bread Dessert. Karaage was our favorite and the tostada a short second. Full supplements to cook and staff. It was worth every penny of our money.
