Not that great. Overpriced food that looks better than it is. Drinks were better than the food but still very high priced. I’d avoid this place and go elsewhere.

Unable to change the egg preference on the green Chilaquiles. Only available as a scramble. Stated the chef does not like to change the menuThey did however say i could get the Chilaquiles divorciados and get no red sauce.The eggs are only available over-easy or over-hard. I chose over-easy and the eggs came sunny side up and raw.The tortillas in the Chilaquiles were mushy.

Five stars, but not for the lactose intolerant. This restaurant legitimately has great food, but if you're lactose intolerant you won't find anything on the menu you can eat done over here. Of course, you can have them take off the cheese and the cream and the other dairy in the menu items, but it won't taste the same and in my mind it doesn't taste as good.Dietary restrictions: There are few, if any, dishes that don't contain cheese and sweet cream or sour cream. They will serve you without cheese and cream, but it changes the flavor profile.The menu states that they politely asks that you don't request changes to the menu.

Wow! What an experience!Walked in a few minutes early for our reservation and were greeted warmly and seated promptly.Our server was awesome, polite, and very helpful when choosing our menu items. ?Chips and salsa arrived. Whole fried corn tortillas are staged in a cute spiral holder. The three salsas were unique and delicious.Wife ordered a spicy drink called Spicy Y Flaca. Tequila, cucumber-problano, and lime juice. Very spicy and flavorful.I ordered their Tónic-O. This used Brokers gin infused elderflower liqueur, lime juice, Topo Chico, and tonic water. So amazing!Wife ordered the Not PA'ella. This dish was outstanding!! It was full of shrimp, calamari, mussels, ribeye, chicken, chorizo, cotija, and poblano rice.My entree was the Maine Lobster Enchiladas. Two enchiladas stuffed with Maine lobster meat! With green salsa, cream, cabbage, cotija, rice, beans, and Oaxaca cheese.Our finale was this gorgeous flan. Topped with toasted shredded coconut. ? ?When the check was dropped off, it was in this little drawer. How cute!!??

My family and I (7 adults and 3 kids) had a great time celebrating my mother's 72nd here, we alllll enjoyed our plates of food! I ate the chicken mole enchiladas and would definitely recommend them. Thank you!!

Ambiance was wonderful. Parking good, service excellent, food and mimosa flights excellent. Guava french toast, lobster enchiladas, huevos dvorciado and all eggs dishes were delicious and not predictable.

The location was small but very nicely designed. The drinks preferably the margaritas were fabulous, the staff was very friendly, the service was spectacular and the food was really good!. The meat was cooked to perfection, the sides were delicious and the overall presentation of the meals was excellent!. I do believe we found our favorite new Mexican restaurant!!!!

Unfortunately, my experience left much to be desired. The food was disappointingly cold and lacked the flavors I was expecting. However, I must give credit where it's due: the drinks were a good.

Loved the food and service ! We had appetizers four different meals we all loved our food !Was a great find the drinks so delicious, our waiter was suberb! The issue I have is I've used open table for years love the ease and many times look fie reservations using the app but now no points are given at certain times you make the reservation. This has never been an issue but now one must look and see if you get the points ? This is new to open table . So not sure who is driving the issue the restaurant or the open table app. Not the same as it's been for years !

We thought the food was good..not great, not amazing. Our tostada chips were slightly stale...this was our initial experience as they were served with our salsa and our ceviche. The seating is a little tight, especially when you're seated against a wall. Was worth trying , not sure about a second trip back.

Our waitress was truly incredible and her daughter was so sweet and helpful! Our waitress was so welcoming and had incredible recommendations. The Margaritas were beyond! I would go back o it if we have this same waitress again! World class! Me Gusta Mucho!
