    The food and service were excellent! The chicken flautas are a must order. However, I do feel like they are incredibly overpriced for the amount of food you receive. Unfortunate, because I feel we won’t be back because of this.

    Family dinner with my daughter for birthday. Francisco's service was outstanding. The drinks were excellent and thoughtfully put together: mezcal negroni, tamarind margarita. Don't miss the pork mole and the mole sampler. Sea bass was excellent as well. All around enjoyable experience and will return again.
