A lovely lil gimmicky place with valentines decorations and overpriced margarita pitchers.
There was like… a wasps nest above our table (inside)? It was so confusing so I don’t know if it was weird decor or truly a bees nest.
The margarita pitcher was a delicious drink!! Just too much ice for the price.
Lots of seating if you walk in.

Wow, I can’t believe I had never been to this spot before. Ultra fresh and high quality Mexican food — among the best in the city I’d say.
Loved loved loved the garlic shrimp I got and my companion’s enchiladas were excellent as well!
