I used to love their short ribs but now - half the meat is burnt BLACK and the rest is so tiny portion of meat with bone and tough to chew. I was genuinely surprised that they would send this bad quality food out to customers… ☹️ waste of $30 I will not be ordering here again.

Went at 5 p.m. on a Wednesday with a friend. Got the happy hour specials (fish tacos, LC pilsners) and carne asado tacos. Tacos were delicious! Would be interested in trying other tacos. Probably need to eat at least two. Going at happy hour definitely helps keep costs down. Server was very friendly and attentive. Noise was minimal when we went. Decor/overall ambience was nice.

I thought the service and attentiveness was slow based on how the restaurant was not very busy at all when we arrived. It took 5 minutes to just be brought water. While the food was good, I don't think you can charge $14 for guac and chips. The value on the tacos was also not what I recalled from a previous visit. Underwhelming.

Great tacos, and a very good atmosphere for drinks!

The only Mexican thing about this restaurant are the drinks. Food comes cold and takes forever to come. Small portion sizes coupled with overpriced food that isn’t actually Mexican isn’t worth it at all.

Went with a large group for a birthday party. The service was very slow. Of course they forcefully added 18% gratuity so who cares about service.. we are getting money anyway..that seemed to be the attitude. Food was okay. The place was small so definitely not recommended for large group or any sort of celebration.

Better than the John St location in service and atmosphere! Service was fast and friendly, food was good. Music was a bit loud but manageable. The one con would be the bathrooms being dirty/smelly.

It took an hour to make a taco?Touque server straight up lied and said I didn’t order anything when I did and he confirmed it too lol what a jokeWe ordered a taquito and a taco and he said: “sure, just the two things?” I said: “yes, thanks”. The taquito came. We finished it. Waited 10 minutes and asked if the taco was coming. He says we never ordered it. ?‍♀️I would be more understanding if the place was busy but I think there were only 3 other groups of people in the restaurant at the time.????

Incredibly disappointing experience here, considering the vibe / ambience looked better.Cocktails were below average, and the queso fundito we ordered which was a “Saturday special” was literally watered down and runny!
