For a small Mexican restaurant, the food was good. The pictures we had were taken in a rush, because we ate everything before I remembers to take pics. The ceviche is quite good, order it 'less spicy' like we did if that's not your thing. I had fish soft tacos, which were done well and portion size was good. Guacamole is very good - better than that C chain place. Service seemed stretched - not enough staff in my opinion, I only saw two servers and two in the kitchen...

The roasted chicken and cazuela de mariscos were absolutely delicious, full of bold flavors and cooked to perfection. We had Julianaas our server! From the moment we sat down, she made us feel welcomed with her warm smile and kind personality. She was incredibly attentive☺️ensuring we had everything we needed and offering the best recommendations. she’s the kind of person who turns a good dining experience into an unforgettable one. We’ll definitely be coming back!
