    Great flavorful food and drinks! I couldn’t believe they had my favorite soups on the menu - hard to find at most Mexican restaurants! Sopa de fideo and Pozole! Yum. The tacos selection was bomb! From Al Pastor to steal to ribeye, shrimp and Birria ! Love the decor and the overall ambiance with a good DJ playing upbeat English & Latin music but not too loud. Perfect for dinner. Service was excellent. They are very attentive. The restaurant is huge so you have plenty of space in between tables and booths. Ample parking in back lot. Reasonably priced for LA. I highly recommend.

    My fiance and I went to have a brunch. The service was great, very friendly and attentive. The cook Maria made the experience fun and it felt intimate as we got lucky that my fiance and I were the only ones there for that time slot of the plancha experience.
