Although the food, ambience, and staff is good. The prices have gotten so high it causes to rethink coming here as there are many other similar restaurants around. $32 for three asada tacos feels like price gouging. Over $10 each is bizarre, and to add to this they have a 3% surcharge to every check.

Probably my favorite upscale Mexican place in the city. Their tacos are to die for and amazing atmosphere! Highly recommend!

I have been coming to this restaurant since they first opened and always enjoyed the food, drinks, service, and atmosphere. Tonight I returned and again enjoyed all the above BUT when I got home as I was cleaning out my pockets and about to throw the receipt away from the restaurant, I notice at end of the itemized list a 3% surcharge.. which it states at the end of receipt if you would like it removed you can just let your waiter know.
1) how are you just going to add charges to my bill without telling me in advance.
2) how many people who go out to eat with one other person really check and review their receipt after dinner, especially after a few drinks.. I sure don't, but thanks for the lesson!
3) the receipt reads the surcharge is to aid in providing health insurance to their staff... really?!?!?! That's what Obama care is for, which everyone already gives to provide Healthcare for those that don't have it. Plus how do I really know the restaurant is really giving that full % towards them providing health care to their employees?? There isn't any oversight or accountability or regulation on their personal charge.
Again, the food was good, BUT I will never return here to give them my buisness JUST because of their sneaky 3% surcharge slip in

We came here with a large group for a bimonthly dinner meetup. They were able to accommodate us easily. We ordered some guacamole for the table and while I don’t like guacamole, I’m told that it was very good. For my actual meal, I had the asada tacos which were fantastic. Every bite was a burst of flavor. Lastly, we had some churros for dessert and those were a hit. It was a great call to make this our location for dinner.
Verania. Since she got her degree and she know everything, I’m sure she knew this one was coming.

This place is very energetic and we were very fortunate that Verania was our server and she took care of us extremely well. The way she gave information about Mezcales it was unheard of before. She also gave us one syrup used in cocktails that was made with Pinapple, Cilantro and Jalapenos. Last but not the least, the food was amazing. I will surely return here.

This place only has 1 server and many bus boys, so there are no empty plates, but it takes time to get things ordered. The menu is wildly overpriced, an app, dinner, and a drink runs you 60$ per person, talk about price gouging, not to mention the random 3% "surcharge." Don't forget about the 18$ valet. You got a 100$ night ahead of you if you visit this restaurant that's per person, by the way.
Vegetarian options: Siembre is the best dish for vegetarian.

Chips and salsa very good but not complimentary. Tacos were excellent but three street tacos for $32 with no sides a bit pricey. The margarita was good but nothing to brag about and served in a small glass with mucho ice. The flan was HORRIBLE…dry, no flavor and it was surrounded on the plate with a strange assortment of things: a dry chocolate cookie on top, few strawberry pieces, a smattering of Cinnamon Toast Crunch pieces, a lime wedge, some dollop of mousse with no flavor and flower petals? Two bites and we were done. We will look elsewhere for Mexican food in the future but thought we’d give this place a try.

Love this place, thank you for the friendly service
Food was decent, very small portions. Felt rushed eating, one of the servers came and took away the plate I was not finished with..and my drink without asking if I was done.
