    This was such a great find! My friend and I had the Mexico City margaritas and they were outstanding, as were the cucumber ahi sashimi and the herb-miso salad. Everything tasted so fresh and flavorful and everyone working there was so friendly and seemed happy. The decor and vibe of the whole place is super cute; we ate on the back patio which was very peaceful. The best part is how accommodating they were to my kids (17 months and 4 years). They had kid's menus and a high chair and were so nice to them. It is so challenging to find a nice restaurant that is also accommodating to children. I will be back and am already recommending this place to friends and family!
