    Our server, Fidel was awesome and attentive. He helped up decide our drinks and meal. The calamari was delectable. The quesabirria was savory but not salty and the sauce had just the right amount of heat like a fancy French dip but with much more flavor. The carne asada with vegetables was delicious with lots of flavors as well. The Don Fulano imperial extra añejo was my favorite. It was a great way to celebrate my birthday!

    The food was absolutely delicious, and our server provided exceptional service throughout the evening. We were celebrating my birthday, and the ambiance added a special touch to the occasion. However, the night ended on a disappointing note due to an unprofessional encounter with one of the security staff in the upstairs bar area. When we attempted to take a group picture in an open section that was accessible to everyone and not reserved, the security guard rudely demanded that we move, despite our explanation that we were just taking a quick photo. To our frustration, minutes later, we saw another group use the same area without issue. This inconsistency left us feeling singled out and deeply disappointed, especially after spending over $1,500 on dinner alone. While the evening was otherwise enjoyable, this negative experience overshadowed what should have been a memorable celebration. I hope this feedback is taken seriously to ensure better treatment of all guests in the future.
