Food and service was great. When we were there, there was a private party with very loud music. But this would not stop us from going there again.

Absolutely incredible! As someone who loves Mexico City and was anticipating this restaurant, they delivered! We only had drinks and apps but will definitely be coming back in for more - the A4 dumplings literally might be the best thing I’ve eaten and the pastor tacos were perfect with fresh blue corn tortillas
