    Took my girlfriend’s mom here to ask for her blessing. We had a great experience and the waitress made it a very special night. The ambience is unique. We enjoyed the crab cake and refried lentils. The machete with chicken tinga was outstanding. Will definitely return.

    The food, service and ambience were fantastic. The recipes were delicious - great flavor combinations (roasted beet salad with pistachios and grapefruit!!). Every dish, sauce is made in house. I really liked the menu options offering a handful of dishes per category. 3 dessert options and they were all amazing with creative twists to familiar options. I was in town for a conference for 5 nights - and as a self proclaimed food snob, this was by far the best restaurant. I will always go to this place when I’m in Dallas!

    We loved he food. Service was great. The quirky interior is so interesting. The noise level is much too high for good conversation. Overall, though, a fun night

    Excellent food! We had the carne asada and it was outstanding. Super cool vibe. Pretty loud in there, but not overwhelming. We look forward to going back
