The bartender service was very good, but the food was very bad. We ordered an order of buffalo wings and they were poorly cooked, which made it possible to notice that they were already in the process of decomposition, the Caesar salad and the chicken were noted to be reheated and not fresh. Experience not to return and not to recommend.

Went here on a random weekday, date night. The music was good, it seemed to have a great weekend bar vibe. But I am here to tell y'all, the food. The food was on a other level, not only was it pretty but it was delicious! Definitely coming back on a weekend!

We haven't been here for a while so we had to get our Chatos fixed. We were there twice this week! Love, love, love the food, drinks and vibes. Got a couple drinks, tacos and etc. Wish it was down the street from us and we will be there everyday, LOL. If you're ever in DTSA give this place a try, you'll love it!!

Upon entrance we were treated with attitude by a host. Word for word she said "sit if you want". The vibe is lit good music good space but food is horrible. We got a bottle of champagne and one little cup of orange juice. Like BFFR ... I had to ask for extra. My chulaquiles were chips with green sauce and they forgot my stake. When they did bring it out it was taco stake .-. Over all the food is not the best but would recommend it you the drinks only. They need a new cook and better customer service. This place has so much potential so I hope they get it together. Also we were charged TWO dollars for a side of old salsa

Yelp stated they were open until 12am but my intuition said call them just in case so we don't waste our time & gas especially after a long night at work. The phone call went straight to voice mail and proceeded to give me their hours of business, Mon-Sunday. Instantly I was like wow that's smart! Today is Tuesday and the voice mail said open 11am-11pm. I thought "yay! Let's goo!" It was 9:20 pm with a 15 min drive but unfortunately we showed up to a closed restaurant at 9:35pm. I'm not one to leave a bad review but this was a huge inconvenience for us. Hopefully they correctly update their hours.

This is a great spot. I've been here a few times to hang out, and had some very good meals. The staff is always amazing and have great hospitality. Gio was the best! Today though, I had the shrimp ceviche and was completely blown away. I ate it before I thought to take a picture. This was the best ceviche I've ever had. You have to order it and thank me later!

I came here on a slow week night around 6ish and there was one other party in the restaurant. Service was a little sketchy as we stood near the door for a few minutes before being asked to take any seat by the bartender/waiter? We went there specifically for the tomahawk surf and turf but the weirdness of not knowing whether to just pick a seat or be greeted by someone changed our minds. This was probably the first Mexican restaurant that didnt serve chips and salsa when you sat down. The serice was a little slow in the beginning where we were contemplating about leaving but I didnt want to look for another spot to eat. Im really glad we ended up staying. The food was great! Although the short ribs were a little tough, the overall flavors of the enchiladas was delicious. The steak was cooked to our liking and was flavorful.

Great little spot in downtown Santa Ana. I was working at an event nearby and had 2 Tacos, one fish and one carne asada. tortillas are homemade and everything was made fresh. Really cool vibes.
