Hello, my first time here, but they don't pay attention and it turns out that they had to send me a message which never arrived and they also make me wait another 20 minutes, too bad.

Where do I start? I hate having to give 1-star reviews, but there were just too many red flags during my visit that can't be ignored.Tried going to this place for the first time for brunch and it ended up being a regrettable and forgettable experience.I put my name in for a table for two just 25 mins after they opened and waited the same amount of time just to be seated when the restaurant was only 15% full...so why did we wait so long?When I walked in to be seated, even though I counted 4-5 waiting staff walking or standing around near the entrance, apparently there's a rule that only the hostess can seat customers. So we lost another 5-7 minutes waiting for that. Luckily, the hostess and the waitress we got were both very kind and attentive, so they shouldn't get any of the blame here.After being seated, we ordered our drinks and food right away just because we knew what we wanted to have. We ordered a mimosa breakfast sampler, ribeye and chilaquiles plate, and the clandestino breakfast plate. While waiting for the food, the chips they brought us were mushy and lacked any flavor. A different male server came out and dropped off more drinks and napkins and didn't say a word. We were thinking are they not allowed to communicate with customers because they aren't waiters? Like...who does that?The mimosas tasted completely watered down and lacked any unique flavor. Had to ask for napkins and silverware and salt & pepper instead of it just being brought over as soon as we sat down.When the actual food came out, we had more issues. Half of the ribeye steak was all fat, and I'm not talking about just around the edges, it was literally half of the entire steak. The chilaquiles were bland, the two eggs looked more like one egg, and the French toast was average. For spending that kind of change on the meal we expected more.They share the parking lot with Smart & Final, so even though we didn't have trouble parking because it was early, I can see why others complain. You have to end up parking on the street or even worse, across the street if things are really busy because their parking lot is too small.The only real positive was the music and the company I was eating with.For a place with a higher than average price tag for food, an attempt at a high end feel judging by their neon signs and 'modern' attempt at decor, and an added outdoor patio section that's really only there because the inside is too small, I felt it fails on many different levels.I won't be going back and wouldn't recommend others to go either, it's really not worth it.

Wow… What an amazing experience! The food, the drinks, the hospitality, and the atmosphere… they all exceeded expectations! Special Thanks and Shoutout to Victor! He was attentive, was always checking on us and made the dining experience that much better!The shrimp lollipops: OMG! I could eat 10 orders by myself!Will definitely go back…Kudos to management for running a great restaurant focused on great food and un-compromised customer experience!
Very good food, and I'd go again if maybe a friend wanted to go try it, but I don't think it's something I would regularly go and get. The servers were very courteous and the food came out freshly cooked, so I didn't mind waiting (ordered the breakfast molcajete, which takes a little longer). Food was worth the wait. It is on the pricier side, but everything is these days. The hostess was nice, but they took kind of long to seat us (family of four). I saw that they set up the table for us right away, but took a while to finally seat us there. Everything looked clean, and they have an A letter grade.Kid-friendliness: They have a kids menu. The kids breakfast was very good, and my sons loved it.
So today was the first time I went to this establishment and it was a disappointment. Mainly for the fact that a few people have said it was good. My experience was ok. First my waiter was very nice and fast. I had a coffee which was given to me with a dirty spoon. My waiter said they forgot to polish it. To which i said so you just rub the marks off and not wash it after? I work in a facility with a kitchen and when this happens its washed by hand than sent to the dish washer to sanitize. My food came quick. I ordered the chilaquiles with eggs.The beans were cold and tasted old. My chilaquiles tasted like they just got the chips from last night and put sauce over them. They were still good. I ate pretty much everything except the beans. The only hot item were the eggs. My potatoes were luke warm. Over all i didnt like the food. The waiter was very nice however.*i never used the spoon i just poured creamer into the coffee

I got a shrimp cocktail and although it was pretty, it didn't taste like much. It needed spice, lemon, salt.. something, anything. Watermelon michelada was really good. Basically go there for the drinks, aesthetic and IG pics. Food is basic in flavor.

Lively brunch spot!Came here for brunch with a large group and they took great care of us. Food was plated beautifully and the taste was excellent! Ordered chilequiles and horchata and it filled me up when I was hungry from my workout. Highly recommend
