This is a go-to celebration restaurant. Expensive, but so worth it. The food is outstanding, especially if you enjoy fish and seafood. Wait staff were attentive and personable. The noise level got high, not not uncomfortable. Small plates are generous for two to share. High level Mexican for a night out celebrating!

Rooftop was very nice. Service was a bit slow and it took a while to be taken care of initially. Food was slow to come out but worth the wait. Had the pan con carne and ropa vieja. Both were very good portions and the sides of maduros were amazing.
