Came here around Christmas time and it was fun! The place is decorated with tons of fun, kitschy decor. The drinks menu was also holiday-inspired.
I tried the Nutcracker Old Fashioned and thought it tasted not too different from an ordinary Old Fashioned. But the gingerbread man orange peel garnish was just too cute! I also tried the Nightmare Before Christmas and it was a hot cocktail with passion fruit and topped with a pat of butter. It was DELICIOUS. We got seconds of these and they ran out before the night was over. I’d say that it’s a crowd favorite for sure.

I've been here a number of times. My three stars is for lack of consistency. Some of the bartenders here are super cool and very friendly. Others are mean and non-attentive. If you have time to be on your cell phone behind the bar, then you have time to wait on customers. I've ordered the same dish a number of times and the portions are different sizes each time- again consistency. Lastly, the margaritas, it's a Pan-Latin restaurant, why are they so sickeningly sweet? And I was told (see attached pic) that they did not have any glasses that fit the margarita portion size. Then, the restaurant should buy some! Because the customer who gets a margarita with huge ice cubes and a ridiculously small poor in a big glass feels cheated. This place gets one more try....

The steak was super disappointing. It was extremely dry and flavorless.
The drinks here are delicious - we randomly stumbled upon this place after walking around the neighborhood. A lot of mezcal forward drinks plus the food options were great. I’d probably just stick with the drinks next time around but I know I’ll be back. Would definitely recommend if you’re looking for a spot to grab drinks at!

the food is quite good. i haven't tried all the cocktails but i wish the margarita were made-to-order instead of on tap. the giant ice cube in it also makes the portion feel very small

They played salsa and then more reggaeton/contemporary music later in the afternoon. The drinks were well made.

A Pan-Latin inspired menu without ANY rice and beans was my first red flag. These are the smallest water glasses I’ve seen. Drink refills were never offered, I wonder if that would have been different had we been drinking alcohol instead of soft drinks. This is not the place to go if you are hungry, we are on our way to get pizza after a $90 bill- what ridiculously small portions starting with the guacamole scoop. The steak is delicious but comes with nothing on the side. I don’t need to be “seen” or post on social media, I love good food and this wasn’t it. Blandest salsa verde with zero spice. Pupusas came with cabbage that also wasn’t spicy at all. We really wanted to like this place based on the atmosphere but that’s all it is.

The bartender here, Kev (?), is a
legend. Shaking up unreal cocktails and shaking up my life at the same time. Holy moly

Everything was great until we had the churros. Then it became a religious experience. Thank you!

Foods solid. The cocktail/drink that has corn in it was really really really good. I’d come back just for that.

Food was incredible. Drinks are good but pricey. Asked for a mezcal on the rocks, liked it enough that I ordered a 2nd one. Was there only with my girlfriend and our bill was over $250. Bartender didn't think to at least mention my drinks were $23 each. I feel ripped off. At least give me a heads up if I'm paying that much.
