Excellent food and great service.

Front desk greeted us immediately and were very nice. We were sat on the main level and it was beautiful. (I’ve sat upstairs before and it’s a different vibe.)

We visited this place for our anniversary and the experience was not bad. We ordered the jalapeño infused margarita and cocktail flight which offers a few tasty options for you to choose. The drinks were excellent though I wish the jalapeño taste would be stronger in my drink but that’s just me.

This place is great for margaritas and chips and guacamole. The mushroom tacos aren’t great. The salad was good. For large parties they put you upstairs at a long table with uncomfortable heavy chairs. There is no room for the waitstaff to walk behind people so people are left passing down food which is just a bit awkward and cumbersome at a work dinner. The restaurant is best suited for couple dates or parties no larger than 4.

Our first time dining here. Our server, Danielle, was genuine, approachable and professional. She gave us great suggestions on the menu. We started off with a beautiful margarita flight. From there it was foodie’s heaven for Latin food. We will be back.

We ordered some tacos and enchiladas, both were tasty but the tacos stood out the most. Tried their smoke and spice margarita…highly recommend.

This place is in line with a lot of the options available in downtown in that it will be at a higher price point than people may anticipate. That said, the food is incredibly high quality and they offer some dishes that are less commonly found. We enjoyed the queso and sea bass ceviche, which were well executed. The tlayuda was a lovely filling dish and personally what I would return for.

Expectations were high, at least based on the relatively new place hype. I went two times, just because I wanted to get a good read on it. And in the end, it was just.. meh!

Visited this place for the first time today. Best ever Mexican food I have had in US! Every dish we ordered surprised us. This restaurant truly served an elevated experience.
