I just got back from Europe and it's been 2 weeks. I have been so bummed that I can't find food like I did portugal. Odin not only fixed that lack of amazing food they delivered a delicious meal along with drink and super friendly staff and patrons. Absolutely try this place out. I will be back soon.

Delicious experience!
This place is way overrated. The food was so over sauced and overly complicated as to make the ingredients unrecognizable. I guess that acidic substance in the empanaditas was trout but it didn't taste like much of anything under the layers of sauce. Likewise with the fish in the ceviche and whatever that was in the huarachito. (Get it, cute names! ) The service was also poor but that wasn't the fault of the working staff who worked in a good natured spirit despite being shorthanded. Management clearly made a decision to sqeeze out every penny of profit by minimizing labor costs. I do have say that the place looked cool with smart, edgy art on the walls but in the end, it was all show.

What an amazing little place! So perfect to celebrate our anniversary. The flan was to die for, the service was on point and the drinks were so unique. The music was also great.

What a jewel of a place this is! Beautifully decorated both inside and out, impeccable tasteful (and tasty!) without being pretentious. We tried much of the menu, and not a single disappointment. The brussel sprout salad was crispy and tangy, the chicken wings spicy and tender. The mushroom main course and the barbacoa tacos were intensely flavorful, and somehow entirely novel while still recognizably Mexican. The guacamole, paired with a pumpkin seed dip from the Yucatán that I've never found stateside, was eye opening in its complexity. Even the cocktails were unique and fresh: the pajarote ponche, with fresh tamarind and slight sweetness, was a particular delight. And the atmosphere? Charming, filled with details like hand-shaped carved chairs and cute table candles made to look like lamps, complete with mini lampshades. Someone has clearly put much time and love into this spot. We were a family with kids, but there were many young couples clearly enjoying an elegant night out. It's increasingly rare to find a place that can cater to families and singles so effortlessly.
All told, this was a wonderful experience. Highly recommended. My only regret is waiting so long to come. We will be back, many times, with friends.

Vibelicious is how I would describe the atmosphere, very attentive staff, mouth watering drinks along with scrumptious food. Check it out!

You should go. The food is exceptional, the mezcal menu is THE best (where else can you find Mezonte?). Their service and dedication to the detail behind the mezcal selection and the cocktail menu are truly one of a kind. Plus you can sit in a giant hand.
Parking: Don't leave anything in your car, but otherwise street parking is not an issue.
