The food here is just excellent. It's consistently my favorite Mexican food in the entire city, and everyone I bring here seems to feel the same way. But I do worry that this restaurant won't last. The service is friendly but lackadaisical, almost every time I visit the experience starts with a list of things they're out of, and the restaurant is seldom busy. So guys, please get your marketing and customer experience figured out! Because I love you and I want you...

I had my birthday party there for about 30 people. Food was great, atmosphere was amazing, and service is on point. Planning and communication with the manager was not difficult at all. All my friends gave compliments for choosing this restaurant and had a really wonderful time at this hidden gem. Need to check the place out!!
June 2025
Was in the area to visit the Museum of Post Punk and Industrial Music and had some time to kill. My wife chose this spot because of the many vegan and vegetarian options. I was impressed with the menu offerings and the food was terrific. Perfect for a couple of hungry travelers, such as we were. I had some pork tacos and my wife vegetable tacos; both were tasty. Very satisfying.
