    We love the bottomless brunch. A great value and you get to try a little of whatever you like off the menu. I especially love the chilaquiles and huevos rancheros and the esquites. I brought some friends here and we all enjoyed it. A very nice atmosphere to sit in as well with great service. Highly recommend trying the bottomless brunch!

    Paulina was our server with others assisting. Half our party were not frequent Mexican food eaters and struggled with the small plate menu but with guidance our server got everybody something they liked and portioned the selections well. One guest did not want anything spicy but really preferred food with little or no spice (hard for this type of small bites restaurant focusing on flavor bomb dishes). Alas, between the servers, owner, and chef, they replaced her meal with an off menu squid ink paella which was delicious (we all had a taste). The service and care really made for a nice evening.

    Our favorite local Mexican for very many years. Very good traditional food and excellent cocktails. (Colorful Ghost is addictive). Small patio outside is lovely on summer days but three separate rooms indoors are also very nice and comfortable, decorated with Mexican tiles.
