    The place is a vibe! The host was friendly and welcoming. I sat at the bar, where I was greeted by three gentlemen working the bar . I asked one for their recommendation and I ordered 1 of each. The food and drinks were incredible. I will definitely come back and will recommend it to everyone I know.

    The prices are reasonable compared to similar restaurants nearby and the quality is outstanding. The pulpo tostada was delicious and the gordita with chicharron-style pulpo was an innovative take that worked very well. It was my first time trying aguachile and the chile de arbol red aguachile didn’t disappoint!
