    10/10 experience!! Ashton was our server and I’m glad we got waited on by him!!! Such a cool person and he did an amazing job!! I brought my girlfriend here for an early Valentine’s Day celebration and I don’t regret it at all. We loved the ambiance and especially the food. We started off with the Costera Guacamole and it was amazing I love the little spice it had. For entrees she had the Pollo al horno and I had the Carne asada cooked medium well and we shared a side of French fries and Arroz con Frijoles. We enjoyed everything the carne was so juicy and tender we enchilada that was included was very good as well I loved the sweet molé. I pretty much cleaned up the plate. For desserts we got surprised by Ashton with a mango sorbet and it was delicious thanks again Ashton !! We also had the Coconut flan and it was absolutely delicious as well!!! We will definitely be back and ask for Ashton !!

    The staff was very accommodating because we were a party of 7 that had 4:30 p.m. reservations, and we needed to leave by 6 p.m. Our server, Kasia, was amazing. She was expert in getting our beverage and food orders, and she was especially helpful because we dined family style. Her recommendations for starters, main entrees, and side dishes were instrumental in us getting our meal in a timely fashion. Everything was fabulous! We will definitely be back!
