I have gone to this restaurant several times and loved it until this evening. Unfortunately, my husband and I went for dinner and ordered a bottle of wine. In every PA restaurant that serves alcohol, you are allowed to take it home as long as it is re-corked.

As per PA law -

In Pennsylvania, a licensed establishment can allow customers to remove an unsealed bottle of wine for off-premises consumption if the customer:
Has purchased and consumed a portion of the bottle on the premises
The bottle is recorked with the original or a similar type of cork
The bottle is securely resealed in a bag that shows it hasn't been tampered with
The customer receives a dated receipt for the resealed bottle

They refused to let us take our 1/2 of bottle of wine home. I explained that we normally do this and take it home recorked, but they demanded that we just finish it. They said they do not have an open container license, and I explained it was different with wine. They refused to listen. I tried to pull up the law and I was told to 'please just leave'.

Of course, we did not want to create a scene, so we left.

I am beyond disappointed as the food and the atmosphere are great but did not appreciate the way we were treated at all. And we literally wasted about $20 and had already given a generous tip too.

Went there for my birthday last night had an amazing time. The atmosphere was so much fun. The food was incredible. Service was great. Took a little bit to get drinks though, but they were really crowded. A lot of birthdays going on will definitely go back. I highly recommend this place so much fun.

Loved the interior and lightening. My Bloody Mary was alright, wish it had more flavor and not just tomato juice and vodka. It was a hit expensive for what it was.

Queso dip, expensive but delicious.

The veggie fajitas were 10/10 ! The portion was huge and made for a perfect second meal later that night. Loved that it included rice, beans, and avocado lettuce concoction on the side!

My friends and I celebrated our birthdays together on 10/25 :) The service was great and we had a great time; we had the "Flame Kissed Fuego Fundido" and several drinks ("La Toxica, Pink Colada, and Prickly Pear"). La Toxica was definitely the best flavor and presentation-wise!
For our birthdays the staff sang and brought us churros and ice cream <3 which was so sweet!
We had such a fun time together, thank you :)

I come from a state where Mexican food has really gone downhill and so I haven't eaten it in over 2 years. Well this place has COMPLETELY changed my perspective on Mexican food!! The food was so good that this review can't even give it high enough praise. The tacos are 100% the best things that have been in my mouth in the past few weeks. I'm coming back for those tacos soon!

A cool new joint in the Fox Chapel/Aspinwall area. Loving the hot pink chairs and vibe. The queso was incredible, the steak fajitas were good. You got a lot of meat, but they need to give more fixings with it. Overall, I would go back and really enjoyed it
