First time trying out this Mexican restaurant.
The atmosphere was good. Friendly staff and service was excellent.

The food and drinks was excellent as well.

Will come back

The place is alright, purely talking about the food and the atmosphere. Its got a perfect atmosphere for a date night. Definitely get a reservation if you wanted to be seated at a reasonable time or risk standing around for over 20 minutes for a table. I got the Al pastor tacos. Meat was a little dry, pineapple was sparce and not very juicy. The hot sauce was very good and elevated the taco just enough to be a bit better than just good. The Hibiscus agua fresca was alright, not...
October 2025
The bartender/server seemed new and a bit short with her words. She didn't want to split the check and rather than asking if we were on the same tab, assumed we were together and told us splitting tabs isn't allowed, but she would do it this time as an exception. I go there often and never have a problem with splitting tabs so this was unusual. The food is delicious, but maybe sit at a table. This new bartender leaves much to be desired.
