Excellent food and a cornerstone of Georgetown. Highly recommend their cocktails and, if the weather is good, their outdoor patio dining area. Also highly recommend taking food to go if you don't want to dine in. Food is always nicely packaged, hot and fresh. Amazing gem of a place!
Good food and a fun environment. I went there on a suggestion without any expectations. Good happy hour, and a good sized menu. Colorfully decorated with inside, bar and patio seating. Good selection of tequilas too!
sexy food and drinks in a sexy space
Fun Mexican food place. Lots of seating and easy to find. I got the Carnitas plate and it was good, a little salty and I eat a lot of salt. I've never really had carnitas but my friend said it was OK and wouldn't get it from there again. So, can't take this review for the carnitas. Everything else was good. I'll be going back.
Rare low star reviewer here. Overpriced underseasoned food. Who gives potato salad with a torta….? The ambiance of the place is the only thing enjoyable.
From someone who grew up in Mexico: this restaurant is the real deal! Everything is delicious, will absolutely be coming back!
Excellent place for upscale Mexican food and creative drinks. The food is tasty and very well executed. The staff is professional and efficient.
This is a great place for lunch, happy hour or dinner. Everything is fresh and satisfying.

The food was awful. We didn't finish our meal because there was no seasoning, and the service was terrible as well. Our server made a rude comment as I was paying the bill. I can't get out of here fast enough. 0 out of 10 do not recommend.
Update to the owner- I did address this immediately and your server made a rude comment about getting a free meal.
I will be avoiding your establishment and I encourage others to do the same.

Good pozole. Chips & salsa: awesome chips, though salty (just brush off the salt). Festive interior.

I really like the chilaquiles here. The food has always been pretty dang good. The staff has often been rude here (I just assumed it was a Georgetown thing). Its quite expensive so clearly they are going for a specific type of consumer. Its a real trendy vibe, ok thats cool I suppose. I dont go here too often anymore due to the two previously mentioned factors but if they don't bother you then give them a try. You'll be impressed at least the first time.

???????????????????????? This place always gets great reviews, so we had very high hopes for this place but we've been 2x and each time the food was 'meh.' Service was good, and the atmosphere extremely loud and noisy hence the 2 stars. We don't mind loudish places but this was very loud. I'll give it some grace as it was a bustling Saturday night. But let's get to the food. I had the cochinita pibil tacos and honestly, they were lazily constructed with only a single tortilla each and spread out on a plate with the pibil dumped on top as if you were supposed to eat them with a fork. They were too wet and soppy for me to pick up and eat like a real taco so, I used a fork. Flavor was OK but poor construction prevented me from enjoying it like a true taco. They also had a tiny amount of onion pickles on them but the pickles tasted a little rancid so, that was a bit disappointing. I also ordered a Paloma cocktail which tasted like it came from a pre-mixed sugar drink. It was basically undrinkable. But the worse part were the beef enchiladas which lacked flavor (a little salt would have gone a long way here) and the meat was grisly and chewy (see photos). It just did not meet the expectations set by the other reviews we'd read. My partner only finished part of it as he could not get through the rest. I'd save the time and effort to get to this south Seattle 'hot spot' and spend your money at one of the other delicious Mexican restaurants in the city. ??????????????????????????

We stopped for lunch after the museum. Took a few minutes to get a table for six but worth the wait. Food was so yummy. The lady making the tortillas let my kids watch and even gave them a fresh one hot off the grill tortilla while we waited.
