Always great to go to Medium Rare. The staff is so friendly. It was buzzing and we had to wait for awhile even with a reservation. It’s the holidays and we just chilled. It was worth the wait

I was very disappointed that there were no tlayudas available. That was the main reason we came. Additionally, the molcajete is a much smaller portion now, with hardly any cheese, and the bowl wobbled terribly which made it difficult to eat. Not sure I will return with so many other options to choose from.
