Amazing vibe! As soon as you walk in, you know it’s gonna be a good time. Perfect spot for drinking and apps (get the nachos). Bartender Paula and staff were 100%!

I had the tacos al pastor, very good and tender meat, our server Felipe was very friendly and patient. I recommend anyone who likes Mexican food to defiantly come and try.

This relatively new restaurant - it's been open less than 6 months - is one of the most fun and festive venues ever ... but the night that we visited, it was near empty. The food,always the main draw, was generally good if a tad pricey and the drinks were unique and tasty. (The chips and guacamole and fish tacos are highly recommended.) I would return just for the venue and vibe and hope that others do, too.

First time visiting. Atmosphere was great. I had ordered the garlic chicken kabob. Chicken was tender and very flavorful. I tried the spicy chicken wing. Let's just say not spicy. The bar tender was very nice and friendly. Pricing was cheap compared to what I thought it was going to be.
