The service was great! Our waitress was very attentive even though it was busy. The food came out hot and was exactly what I wanted!

The music outside was very loud. This made conversation a bit of a challenge.

At least one member of the staff didn't speak English well and interacting to get food delivered correctly was challenging. Our Spanish is bad but was better than his English. Food was really good.
July 2025
We were quite surprised to see some empty tables during a sunday afternoon, but that did not put us off. The food was just as expected, amazing! Everything was fresh, well made and flavorful.
I had ordered a cup of Pozole and to me that cup was a bowl size. Nothing wrong with it, portion was larger than I had expected but delicious nonetheless.
If you have never been, please do visit!
