    I travel from So. CAL & was craving some Mexican food; highly recommend this restaurant. The service was amazing it felt welcoming and warm during the festive weather. The food was delicious, I got the classic chilaquiles & barbacua. Also the Horchata Latte was delicious.

    Staff and service was excellent. Paid extra attention to note about celebrating my Mom's birthday. She really enjoyed her chilaquiles and mimosa. I ordered the pork belly Benedict but did not enjoy them as I'd hoped because the chipotle hollandaise was unexpectedly sweet. Not sure if they were made incorrectly or if there is a sweetener added, but if so then it should be listed in the ingredients. Had I known they were sweet and not spicy I would have ordered something else, but I ate them to not waste food. I'm sure staff would have been accommodating however ultimately this felt like a failing of whomever created or wrote the menu
