Our food and service were out of this world. We had mango margaritas, guacamole, ceviche, fish tacos and the Mahi Mahi special. I almost licked the plate. Everyone was incredibly kind and welcoming. $7 self park in their lot.

Really delicious food. Tiny outside eating area. Valet parking, which is good because this isn't a neighborhood where you'd like to be walking around at night getting to your car.

This used to be my favorite restaurant in DTLA. Not sure what happened, but the food is now average, the service was poor, and the prices were sky high. Restaurant was mostly empty.

On our first night in LA, we stumbled upon this Michelin Star Mexican restaurant, and it was a delicious find. Among all the dishes I tried during my LA stay, this ranked among the best.The Metro made for a quick commute from downtown LA.Plus, post-meal, Little Tokyo's vibrant bars are just a short stroll away.

I had the Ceviche and a few spirits. The atmosphere was great and the bartender Ami was very knowledgeable in his craft.

Came in for dinner on Saturday night and ate at the bar. We got two apps and shared an entree. Everything was well prepared, beautifully presented, and delicious. The bar service was very good and attentive. The restaurant is well designed and elegant with tasteful music. My bf enjoyed the mezcal cocktail and it was amazing. They have excellent beer on tap as well. If you haven’t been here, yet - WHY NOT?!
