Sea bass - unreal, lobster enchiladas, shrimp tacos 🔥 some great Mexican food. Highly recommend checking this place out. Margaritas were so good- get the Tajin rim😮‍💨“

“Ambiance 😀, service and uniqueness. Had the Carajillo for an after dinner treat. Sooo good!“

“From the first course to the last our server was extremely attentive and helped us navigate the menu. We had the 8 course tasting menu and honestly, I couldn’t find a single dish to say anything but amazing things about. After dinner we got a brief tour of the private dining area and back of house, shook hands with the executive chef and got to thank him for helping curate such a special birthday dinner for my partner and myself. It truly was a journey through coastal Mexico with every bite and the staff was incredibly kind. If you have an opportunity to experience this place, you should absolutely book the reservation! The chef’s and staff here earned their star for great reason!“

“I was the lucky winning bidder of a catered dinner for eight that Qero so generously donated. Everything about the experience was amazing. First of all Monica, The owner was a delight as were her staff she brought with her. We thoroughly enjoyed the education of the Peruvian culture and food. We enjoyed the Pisco sour drinks very much, and the food was all amazing! Huge hit with my guests! We had empanadas, ceviche, braised beef, their specialty chicken dish, a local potato dish and more. Don’t hesitate to have them cater a party for you! Her portions were very generous and we have leftovers for days. We look forward to going and enjoying more at the restaurant“
