Very loud music, it is not proper place for socializing with friends unless you want to communicate with pantomime, get headache and sore throat due to shouting.

Elegant and tonal ambiance with excellent service, great food, and decent drinks. The wagyu tacos and guacamole were amazing, and the servers are quick and attentive. The margaritas were just okay, though, and for the price you'd expect them to be a lot stronger.

Great place to come check out if your in Bellevue, 21 and over they check ID before you get seated, great spot for drinks or dinner. Food, drinks and service is 5 stars.. only the music is extremely loud so its hard to carry a conversation with the person next to you. Loved the music it was just a tab to loud.. we were sitting upstairs so maybe that's where all the speakers are.

I got carried away by the photos on InstagramThe food had no taste, it is not worth the $$ for the portion of food that it is, you only pay to go sit in that placeThe waitress was very attentive

Honestly, the best meal I’ve had in 2024 and it will likely remain that way. It was so so good! We got the chips and guac (+goat cheese) 4 tacos, beans and rice and 2 desserts. Everything was top notch. And the margarita flight is so fun! Thanks for helping us celebrate our 2 year anniversary in an amazing way.

Came for a dinner with 5 people there was an additional hidden 20% service charge that was added onto our $600 tab that was for parties of 5 or greater. Convenient for the restaurant of course… All this for small plates and forgettable cocktails. Had I known that we would’ve chosen a different place to dine in. The food was severely underwhelming for the price. I would liken my $27 salad to a tasteless bed of lettuce complimented by an abysmal serving of wagyu perfectly portioned for absolutely no one. The music was VERY loud. The cocktails were a solid 6/10. The only reason I would recommend this restaurant was because of the absolutely amazing service from our server and very attentive staff.

Went for a late lunch with my mentor and wow, it reminded me of the Mexican food I had back in California. Everything was on point - the watermelon guac, mushroom enchilada, chips and salsa, and the fresh cocktails. Everything tasted thoughtful and delicious. Super happy we chose this spot!

Literally terrible … the cocktails were watered down triple sec and low quality tequila. I sent my drink back, which I felt bad about, and the second one was even worse. The street corn was good but the sandia salad was overly sweet and drenched in dressing. The only saving grace was that our server was sweet about me not liking my drink and said she wouldn’t want me to have something I didn’t enjoy. Also the restaurant is aesthetically nice . But overall a waste of $
