My husband and I have been looking for delicious, authentic mexican restaurants and I’m glad we stumbled upon this place as we strolled through North Park. The food was delicious! Out of this world! The place was surrounded with beautiful colors with a beautiful Mexican aesthetic theme. The server was extremely friendly, welcoming and kept checking in to see if we needed anything else. I will definitely be coming back! 10/10.

Best Mole in the city that I have found. Friendly staff. A little bit expensive, but thats only because I paid for chips and guacamole, but the guacamole is too good not to have it with your meal.

Great meal! The queso fundido wasn’t super flavorful but they had chicharrones and the rest of the meal was great. Definitely will come back to try the fish!

Edited: changed my review to 5 stars after our second visit. The whole fish was perfect, as was the burrito. Fantastic service and they were even patient enough to let us practice our Spanish 😆
