I really enjoyed our experience. The place itself is great! I love the decor and the space has tables and couches. They also had a DJ which was fun, and it was too loud, so we were still able to enjoy eachothers conversation. The food was okay, nothing spectacular, but very good. Drinks were awesome! It is a fun spot that is worth the stop.

Coming back! We went as a family for Valentine's, the food was amazing, not to mention the Watermelon Margarita oh wow. There was live music, excellent choice for the occasion! Recommend the cauliflower mole and the shrimp curry tacos.

Great ambiance, live music, very very good service, and amazing mezcal/tequila selection. The food was good but not great. Ceviche was bland, and some tacos excessively (drenched) oily. Churros were sad slender sticks with sauce too thin to even cover. Other than that we had a pleasant experience!

Service was bad and the drinks were weak. I ordered a mezcal cocktail and couldn’t taste even a hint of smoke. The food was ok. I’d give it another try because I love tacos, but I wasn’t impressed.

The atmosphere and live music saved the evening. There was only one server and we had a hart time getting his attention. We received items we didn’t order. The food is okay but not for the price. So many better restaurants in the neighborhood.
