At this vibrant restaurant, diners are met with a mixed bag of experiences. Many rave about the outstanding food quality and attentive service, praising dishes like the nachos and churros. The drinks are frequently highlighted for their deliciousness, enhancing the overall atmosphere. However, some guests found the food to be overpriced and lacking authenticity, particularly when compared to home-cooked meals. Service inconsistencies, notably with one staff member, have been noted as well. Despite these criticisms, the restaurant's modern decor, lively ambiance, and diverse drink selections continue to draw customers eager for a memorable dining experience.

We went there for late dinner and drinks. Food was great! Even though they were closing we never felt we were being kicked out. Good experience overall.

The restaurant exceeded expectations with this order. The Chilaquiles and Papas Bravas were outstanding!

I can’t believe they charged me $25 for shrimp tacos that only had one shrimp chopped up! That’s outrageous. On the other hand, the fish tacos are tasty and definitely worth the price.
