“Personally I think music could be more easy listening or have more variety at least (or turn down the volume so it's not a big experience factor), especially if you understand Spanish, the same band and the same subject becomes a little annoying soon. Either way the food is worth it.“

“Wonderful food. Well-prepared. Typical atmosphere for this type of restaurant. But the best part was the Pancho Villa cocktail—a must-have (and I learned it was also the favorite of the bartender)—made with mezcal, chili liquor, their homemade tamarind syrup and more, with chili salt on the rim and chili powder swirl stick. All of our meals were excellent, with good flavors.“
