    10/10 experience!! Ashton was our server and I’m glad we got waited on by him!!! Such a cool person and he did an amazing job!! I brought my girlfriend here for an early Valentine’s Day celebration and I don’t regret it at all. We loved the ambiance and especially the food. We started off with the Costera Guacamole and it was amazing I love the little spice it had. For entrees she had the Pollo al horno and I had the Carne asada cooked medium well and we shared a side of French fries and Arroz con Frijoles. We enjoyed everything the carne was so juicy and tender we enchilada that was included was very good as well I loved the sweet molé. I pretty much cleaned up the plate. For desserts we got surprised by Ashton with a mango sorbet and it was delicious thanks again Ashton !! We also had the Coconut flan and it was absolutely delicious as well!!! We will definitely be back and ask for Ashton !!

    Food was delicious, and drinks were strong! such a cute and esthetic restaurant. I will say though the waitress we had was a bit snappy and made us feel so rushed on ordering and came to our table a little too often we had no chance to talk we were always being watched we just felt like our experience was rushed by her. There’s a policy there that anyone at the table has to order food no matter what. I had a friend who wanted to just order drinks and our waitress said she had to eat since everyone was eating and then proceeded to give the menu to my friend and when she was asking her questions she snatched the menu out of her hand out of frustration. She did not make our experience enjoyable. Maybe if we had a better waitress our experience would’ve been 10/10, but it was a 3/10
