    Great experience all around! Only issue is I signed up for their rewards program and it didn’t give me credit. I went back to see if they can give me credit, but they said they couldn’t… for as much as we spent, I’d think there would be some sort of solution. Regardless, the food was amazing (probably the best Mexican food in Seattle), the margaritas were fantastic! The atmosphere and establishment has a certain Mexican character reminiscent of a cantina in Mexico. Wonderful job!

    Our team works hard to create a dining experience that leaves all of our guests happy and satisfied, so this feedback is disappointing to receive. We would appreciate another opportunity to give you a fantastic experience, so please feel free to reach out. Thank you, Dusan Sretenovic - General Manager

    Staff were great and the restaurant is very cute plus great ambience! If I’m being honest, the food wasn’t bad, but not something id eat again. I wouldn’t come back to try anything else. Great vibes and I’m we tried it, but you can get better food pretty much anywhere else.

    Alas, our food was the only consistently positive thing about this most recent visit. Despite having a reservation and the restaurant being very quiet when we arrived, our food took nearly 40 minutes to reach the table, and two people’s meals took another 10 minutes after that (with no explanation). We were all standing up to leave when we were finally offered a check!

    Food was quick and of great quality. Only thing was we only saw our server one time, otherwise we had to flag down other staff as they assisted other tables.
