The restaurant is nice and vibrant. The service has a great attitude, although we found ourselves looking for our waiter frequently. They have a good selection of spirits, and have a great opportunity to make good cocktails; ours were ok. The same goes for the food; in many cases the presentation was creative and distinct, while the food was good. For sure a place to come back; the mariachis certainly energize the experience.
