To Our Guests:The amount of guests that you make a reservation for is what you will have available. Example: If you make a reservation for 4 guests and put in the notes that you need a table for 8 guests- you will not have a table for 8 guests but only for 4 guests that you made the reservation for.Seats at the bar itself are NOT able to be reserved- they are very limited and are first come first serve. If you book the bar tables on Opentable- the reservation will be for the tables in the lounge that are located behind the bar.Seats on the patio are also NOT able to be reserved. If a reservation is made and in the notes you have requested outside or patio this does not guarantee you an outside table.We look forward to seeing you soon.

    Went to this location to celebrate my mother’s birthday. It was an absolute pleasant experience. Staff was extremely friendly and welcoming. The drinks were delicious and the food was scrumptious. The pork belly was the best I’ve ever had. What made our experience memorable was the attention we received from Santiago. He especially provided special attention to my granddaughter and made her feel at ease.

    The service was fantastic and the food was even better. Big portions, plenty of chips, salsa and the prices were very reasonable for the amount of food you were getting. Would highly recommend this restaurant if you looking for good Mexican cuisine.
