Great food and amazing drinks!

Genuinely some of the best food I have had in a long time! So fresh and delicious. Staff was so friendly and it was such a cute vibe. I also have celiac disease and need to eat strictly gluten free and they were so knowledgeable about cross contamination and there were only 3 things on the whole menu that couldn’t be made gluten free. This will definitely be a regular spot for me!

7 of us for dinner Saturday night and it was so great! Super attentive staff, excellent service - and the food was amazing! I had a shrimp veracuzano and finished it all, two others had the carne asada and that looked and smelled delish. Highly recommend!

***Updated Review March 2025*****
They are NO longer a BYOB. They have a full service bar. There is a $25 corkage fee. The food is still good and drinks are small but all the juices are fresh squeezed. No longer dimly lit … there were more families and groups They also charge for everything extra … $1-$2 for extra salsa and $3 for extra chips. With everything costing more now a days it’s understandable that they had to raise their prices. The servers are nice and accommodating. However now that they are no longer a byob be prepared to pay at least double.

This place was amazing
Friday date night. Setting: Low lit, inviting atmosphere. Staff: Genuine, non egotistical, down to earth people. Food: Beautiful plating to match the flavorful food. BYOB: with available margarita mixer for own Tequila bottle....whaatttt!!! Which was fresh tasting and not overly sugary btw. There is not a single thing I can say negatively about this place. Even the price for quality of service and food was worth every penny plus some. They have only been open a month, by the end of the summer I know I won't be able to just walk in and get a table. You have found a loyal customer in us and then some!!!!

The steak enchilada was a goddamn SALT LICK!
Disgusting for a $70 meal. Never again and we reside two blocks away.

I love this place so much! It's my favorite in Lincoln Square. The food is always perfect, it's my go-to whenever I don't feel good. The owners are the sweetest people you could ever meet. Nothing but good things to say about this place.

I ordered delivery from here because most of their menu is gluten free. They are super gluten free friendly as well.

I got the steak taco dinner. It comes with a lime and I highly recommend using it on your tacos because it makes the flavor really pop. My girlfriend got the chicken tinga tacos, and even though she is a baby when it comes to spice, she loved them. As they are a delicious gluten free friendly restaurant, we hope to visit sometime soon.

Very cozy place, I really enjoyed my time having dinner with my friends and my 5yo son. Everyone was very friendly and sweet, and the food was great. I would love to go there again.

We ate here for dinner last night, and I like other reviewers was underwhelmed. The prices are quite high; we ordered two carne asada and a shrimp special and a kids taco meal, and were surprised at all the extra charges that were not listed on the menu. We were charged for our chips and salsa, an additional charge for salsa, a corkage fee and the ice cream desserts were charged more than the list price. Ended up being $150 for a dinner seems for a family of 4. I don't think i will be coming back- i'm surprised the reviews are so good. There doesn't seem to be a value for the price, in addition, when additional fees are added to the bill, it's a bit of a detractor to any meal.
