It is a shame this place is not busier. I have come to this restaurant for multiple occasions and every time I leave with a smile and full stomach. Delicious food, Amazing service, Beautiful Atmosphere. Our Server Mao on this occasion helped explain the menu and offered many options for my party. Thank you Mao for a great time!
Shout out to the best server, Natalia! Last night she gave us the best experience while we hung out for dinner, for the second time. The WINGS are 🔥 and cooked perfectly 👌. We tried the Wednesday night special, pozole. TRY IT IMMEDIATELY - I promise its delicious and hearty, just like your abuelitas or your mom's. Dare I say it, it might be better 🫣 the flavor is unforgettable. We have a whole tasting of the menu curated for weeks to come. Dont skip drinks...read full review
