    Delicious food. Fresh guacamole seasoned to the point. Tacos were amazing. The outdoor space decoration could be as good as indoors. I recommend to stay inside and enjoy the nice ambience.

    I went here sometime in March with a group of friends around 8:00 pm. Upon our arrival, we were caught off guard because there was no music playing and only a few other people were there, so we thought they were closed. However, it turned out that the speaker wasn't working that day, so we played our own music quietly at our table, which was fine. Once we ordered our food, it was great overall, in fact, it was fantastic. The calamari was so good that we ordered multiple rounds of it. The restaurant is also aesthetically pleasing and has a cozy atmosphere, making it a perfect spot for a relaxing evening with friends. We definitely plan on returning in the future to enjoy the food and laid-back ambiance again. I just hope that next time there will be music and more people in the restaurant, but the food was also reasonable price so that is great!
