EVERYTHING was spicy. And way too much flavor. So hot I could barely eat the ceviche and we sent back the queso. A warning on the spice level would have been nice. And the wait time for the main course was extremely long for how slow the restaurant appeared to be. Then the bill came to top it off...

Tried brunch and was thoroughly impressed! The pozole was absolutely amazing—full of flavor and perfectly done. The coffee was another standout and definitely a must-try. Thanks for yet another great experience. We’re already looking forward to coming back this Saturday for dinner!

Short ribs were amazing. Service was good but a bit slow. As it got busy it was extremely loud.

Excellent place. Food was outstanding and service was outstanding. Because the restaurant was full we managed to eat at the bar and had some great cocktails. The birria dumplings where a hit the consume that it came with was outrageously good. We also had the short ribs and chicken main courses and both were to die for.
