The ribs, the guac, the drinks + service, everything was 10/10! Tommy did a great job being our server. Also, the vibe is dark + intimate. Parking is horrible so uber instead.

Dimly lit which is great for a date or hanging out with friends. Tge atmosphere is conducive to having good conversation. The menu consists of dishes that pair well together or can be the complete opposite to challenge your taste buds.

I went with my daughter and we thoroughly enjoyed the corn donut, which isn't made from corn. It was very tasty.

Loved the service from Danny was phenomenal he knows what pairs well on the menu and makes great recommendations. There is a wide selection of tequila and mezcal. The drinks are unique so come prepared to experiment! That's what this resturant is all about! Loved the ambiance and the friendliness of our waiter. You won't be disappointed.

Absolutely amazing! They have thought of every detail both for the ambience and the food. Every dish we had was outstanding!

Would not recommend booking a 10:45pm reservation at this restaurant. You will only have 15 minutes to order and unless you are immediately sat and attended to, you won’t be served.

An amazing environment and excellent food. A great night out.

Had a great dinner and was promptly seated and served. The ribs and drinks were amazing! A little dark inside maybe but still loved it.

Giving this restaurant anything but 5 stars all- around is wild. Quixote exceeding my and my wife’s expectations by miles!

The vibe in the restaurant was top notch, felt trendy but not pretentious. Very laid back. We had to wait a little for our table as the restaurant was very busy, we sat at the bar in the meantime. Service at the bar was very timely and the bar staff were very friendly! I got the Vernita Green - absolutely delicious! A generous pour but not overbearing.

Once seated, we ending up getting six different dishes. Everything was shareable. To say the food was delicious would be the understatement of a lifetime. The memelita was our favorite. So juicy, so much flavor! I recommend the shrimp tacos, the memelita, and the pulpo (a delectably interesting version IMO). To top it off we had the fritters for dessert - and let me tell you… AMAZING!

Going to this restaurant is a must! So glad we went and will 10000000% be back for our favorites and to try more!

The atmosphere was great, the service was great too. It's just very limited on menu options. I wanted a non alcoholic drink, and the waitress said I could walk down to the other restaurant. What? Other than that, it's extremely dark, and then your eyes adjust. Experience it once. That's all you need.

Good food and creative atmosphere if you are seated in the main room. Be prepared for a dark loud cool place.
I'd say go for the experience more than the food

love the low lighting and the atmosphere but the music selection was abysmal for this specific ambiance.
the tapas were good sized and tasty we got 3 dishes and for two people it was enough to share.
the fondue had way too many onions though and kindof ruined the dish. would reccommend the crab corn doughnut!
very limited non alcoholic menu and no coffee drinks/anything hot at all. beautiful establishment, no question, but little things keeping it from its potential to be amazing.

great service.

Beautiful restaurant! It's a vibe! Sarah our server was spectacular! Went above and beyond to make sure we had a lovely time celebrating our anniversary ❤️ Will absolutely be back soon!

Kid-friendliness: Wish it wasn't. Crying kid put a tiny damper on our evening. Won't mark a star off for it but seriously... would be a better experience if it was 21 and up.

Took wife here for 9 year anniversary. Excellent drinks and food.
Only improvement would be having grilled chicken tacos instead of overly battered ones.

What a dining experience! Food was excellent, the atmosphere was incredibly unique and special. I even drempt about my drink! A little too dark, bring a headlamp to see the menu, especially if you're old like me ?
