We came on a rainy night on new year's eve. We were seated promptly but it took a minute for our server to come by. She was nice though. I took a minute to find something that could be good to modify for the many food allergies I had, but once I was ready, our server came back and took our order and we were given a basket of chips. The chips were mostly fragments and felt like the remnants of a batch that was made earlier but the new batch wasn't ready yet... at least...

Popped by for lunch earlier this week with our dog and had an incredible experience with excellent service from Ana! You can't go wrong with anything on this menu but make sure you get the fresh tortillas. They offer a little menu for dogs that is adorable and makes the place feel extra welcoming. Wonderful atmosphere, speedy service, highly recommend.

Great atmosphere. Delicious drinks - we had the michelada flight and ofrenda margarita (October special). Our server Aide made a suggestion of the tacos Al pastor which complemented my sopa de albóndigas super well. Highly recommend. ¡salud!
