Great place. We stopped in for dinner before a show at PPAC and we couldn’t have been happier with our experience. The service was great, the waiter was very friendly. We went with something we knew for dinner since we were on a time restriction, but we can’t wait to go back and explore the menu!

About the restaurant

Legit Mexican fare. No joke. Chef Mariana Gonzalez celebrates her family’s generational recipes and shares them with you. Sounds yum…and don’t worry, the drinks are just as good.

This was my first time visiting the restaurant and everything we ordered was full of flavor. Looking forward to coming back and ordering a different dish. The pineapple upside down cake was warm and melted in my mouth.
