The drinks took about 40 minutes. They were great, but they just need another bartender.

Food was good, not great. Food was delivered within 10 mins of ordering. Took over a half hour to get our drinks. Had only one bartender servicing the entire restaurant on a busy night. Not ok.

Dinner and drinks before an event at the Paramount Theater. The Mole Chicken was good as were the mole chicken enchiladas. The margaritas were inconsistent but good enough.

Food was ok but menu limited and portions small. Drinks are outrageously expensive. The restaurant itself is so noisy though, and it negatively impacted our experience.

I’m gluten free and could eat almost everything (except some desserts) . I can’t often have mole, meatballs or empanadas, so these were a treat.
