   Very poor and highly overrated restaurant. The bartender can’t make a cocktail to save their life. Water-downed and bad tasting. Servers don’t know the menu and are unattentive. And the food is plain. It’s the strangest, unfriendly, un-Mexican restaurant you’ve ever been too and way overpriced for what it offers. Go to El Chucho down the street.

   Food was fantastic. Highly recommend the tacos and the guacamole with chicharron.

   Good food although small portions and the price isn't cheap. My entree came out faster than my appetizer and when I pointed it out to the waitress she said oh it is coming out in a few mins as if this wasn't her concern. Very lay back Latin service I guess. LOL!

   The food is overpriced and bad. The restaurant has a identity crisis, it doesn’t know what it is and the overpriced food won’t help them be around long enough to find out. Don’t ever order the fries or the fish tacos, you’ll regret it for days.

   Had new server and she struggled during whole experience coordinating our food to come out in order and at same time . They weren't able to get the bill split between 6 people correctly; literally exact amount divided by 6. My card was charged for 5 people! We were told manager left for the evening so no one seemed to be in charge. This was my 2nd visit and service was worse, not better. Gave them 2 times to get it right. Shame since food is good. Won't be going back.

   The acoustics aren’t the best and everyone was in a shouting match at their table. I could barely hear the waitress. It’s just acoustics. The music wasn’t bad but maybe the choice and volume was too much for the acoustics. Food was good, drinks too. However, it felt a bit overpriced. But whatever everywhere is expensive nowadays. Looking forward to their outdoors space.

    Really well executed updated classics. Nothing too off the wall but really great flavors. Recommended

    The fish taco was overly battered and tasted like fish and chips (not in a good way). The carne asada taco was overcooked and lacked brightness. The pastor taco was bland. The langosta emborachada didn't know what it was trying to be. Staff was super nice. Guacamole was fine. Cocktails were delicious. Overall, though - we were really disappointed.

    Back patio is lovely. Service was great. Food was delicious, though portions could be a little bigger.

    Service was phenomenal. We got our wonderful food very quickly. The portions are small, but the food is superb. I’m usually not a big mole person, but this was the best I’ve ever had. Deserts were also amazing. Highly recommend.

    Loved the food, especially the chicken mole, guacamole and chicharon, and the tacos. Also, the fried rice pudding balls were amazing, as were the drinks. Can't say enough about the great service. We will be back for sure.
