Not my first visit and will not be my last. There is nothing average on the menu, much less unappetising. Great spot to visit for either breakfast or lunch.

The ambiance and drinks was really good! The steak and chicken fajitas were good as well just would have liked the veggies cooked more. I thought the menu had more of a selection but it didn’t. I would definitely go back for the drinks!! Oh the Ceviche was bomb and guacamole was good as well. 8/10

We love the variety and flavor, both in cocktails and menu. We visit often because they have a kids menu, perfect for our toddler. She devoured their kids pizza and ice cream and for this reason the restaurant is one of our favs! The service people are attentive, kind and friendly. We're fans of the piñata cocktail, aguacate salad, calabaza, and the fish tacos. For dessert, the nieve frito is delicious.
