Food and service was great! The only complaint is the location they sat us in outdoor patio was next to valet parking. Valet backed the cars into parking spots and when they started the cars, the carbon dioxide from exhaust came directly into patio area where we were seated! The smell of exhaust was terrible! They should have parked cars head-in so the exhaust would be away from patio.

We went to Aro Latin before the UCLA game at the Rose Bowl. The tacos were so delicious, we had to order another round. Margaritas were amazing. Staff was incredibly friendly. Will definitely go back!
