Food was great. Our server was great. The drinks kept taking a long time. We probably could have ordered more drinks but decided not to because they took forever to come out. The music was outrageously loud. Like super duper loud. One more thing about the food. I got the zarandeado which on the photo has 2 filets, my order came with one. It was delicious however

Service was nice but pretty slow... music was pretty loud can barely hear people Talk. The food was good ver flavorful! I definitely do recommend. My one thing is none of the waitresses had their hair fully up... serving food is think it would be required for them to put their hair up.

We enjoyed the food. Everything we ordered was tasty However, the Cons were the service. We got seated immediately upon arrival. However, after 15mins of waiting & no waiter, I waved down the host, who was surprised no one had came to wait on us. She came back and said the waiters were serving the bigger parties & she'd take our order & someone else would wait on us after that. The cook had even come out to ask what kind of tortillas we wanted for our meal. That went to show they were under staffed, the chips & salsa & food made up for the lack of Service

You need to reserve before you go. Very Important. Luckily someone canceled for us and we got the table. But if u don't mind the bar area, happily welcome to find a chair..Beautiful restaurant and awesome vibes.. their Chilean seabass was so good. Awesome entrees. They don't have good options for desserts. Only a few like flan, fried ice cream, churros and tres leches. Good options for beverages.

Loved this place. The ambiance was top notch and service was fantastic. The food was very good and not overly expensive for Orange County standards. Seems like a good date place as well. I highly recommend.

Great food and service! Definitely a place I would visit again. Today I visited the place with a team from work (Wild Fork). Great experience.
First time here for dinner. Interior was nicely done, cute bar and seating was spaced out. Only one patron at the bar when we arrived (5:30) by the time we left there were 14 patrons. Ordered the salmon Al pastor and split lobster quesadillas with my friend. Unfortunately, I never saw lobster in my portion of the quesadilla but on over abundance of peppers and green chilies. I did not eat the salmon skin which appeared to have all the seasoning, carrots were fine, broccoli was overcooked and soggy. My friend enjoyed her meal (Birria barbacoa) and had a ton of leftovers. Wait staff was nice, but service kept us waiting too long.
