Genuine Mexican vs the usual faux stuff. Funky atmosphere, great margaritas (order top shelf). The MOLCAJETE LA RIENDA is amazingly good and not to be missed - I could have it every day.

The food is delicious and the service is wonderful too. My dish had a modification I requested that they accidentally forgot about, but the lengths they went to resolve it, were SO impressive. Customer service like this does not exist. Amazing food, and an amazing team of people work here! I will continue to go here over and over again.

We recently visited this charming restaurant while in the USA and were truly impressed. If you're seeking an **authentic Mexican dining experience**, this place is a must-visit. The flavors are genuine, making it a hidden gem worth discovering.
Kid-friendliness: The quesadilla and kids meal was nice.
