Feel like this place could be way better. First off, I know the restaurant ain’t easy, but these prices are pretty steep and the plates are small.

A MUST. The playlist, the food, the cocktails, the ambiance—absolutely one of my favorite new spots. Can’t wait to come back for more of this cochinita pibil and the rest of the menu.

Awesome. Excellent margaritas. Ceviche was great. Both chicken and beef main dishes were wonderful and perfectly cooked. Bartenders Joey and Mo did a great job and were very friendly.

Food was excellent! The Bronzino, handmade blue corn tortillas, elote, & cocktails we ordered (spicy mezcal margarita & Oaxacan old fashioned) hit the spot. Good quality, a bit pricey, but definitely expected that coming in. It is worth it!

I used to eat here all the time before the pandemic. Now they consistently fail to meet past standards. After my last trip I am done with this place. The staff was rude and didn’t inform us of any menu substitutions until we were ready to place our food order. The one oyster I tried was not fresh and contained a number of pieces of shell, including one that cut my tongue. We sent the rest back. We were surprised that they were included on our bill. The size of the portions was meager. The side sweet potato was the size of a steak fry. It’s a shame that the staff and food quality have gone so down hill.

Had a delicious brunch burger here, with some excellent cocktails. So glad we have this spot in the neighborhood. Great place to chill on a Sunday afternoon!

Order the chuleta!!! This is one of the best pork’s I’ve had in my life. The ambiance is amazing too, very well decorated and the drinks are artisanal. If you’re looking for your new favorite eatery in Boston, this is it.

Unimpressed overall by the experience at this restaurant. They charge $25 a person if you miss your reservation, yet the quality does not match that specific demand, or the price they charge for their food. This is probably why the place was relatively empty at prime dinner time on a Friday. The quesadilla was mediocre, not really sure what they were going for with the ingredients, but it did not work. The roasted chicken was bland. The chuleta was the best entrée we had, it was covered in a very good sauce over a tasty puree, however, it was overcooked, although the sauce covered much of the dryness. The margarites, the appetizers, and the sides we had were all good. The staff was also friendly and attentive, and the place has a decent atmosphere, which is why they got 3 stars instead of 2.

The $1 oyster deal drew us here. Oysters were good, but the rest of the dishes were only okay and overpriced. The potatoes could’ve been really good, but they were oversalted. The vegetarian tacos were not great and definitely not worth it at $5 each. Didn’t try the drinks, but would consider coming back for a cocktail since the atmosphere is so nice. Service was also attentive and quick (though we felt slightly judged for not ordering more).
