Went for Happy Hour. Staff was friendly, food and drinks came out quickly. We had the Queso Fundido with Gordo Cruch Tacos, which were delicious! Our drinks were the frozen strawberry guava cocktails in cute little bear glasses. We’ve been here multiple times and plan on going back soon!

Portion sizes could be a little bigger for the amount we paid. Music was a bit too loud to have a conversation without shouting. Our wait staff were very friendly and attentive.
