Very average to poor experience. Food is nothing special. Just ok Paid $150.00 for 2 appetizers,2 Buritoes , 3 margaritas ( hardly any alcohol, mostly sweet water) and 1 ice cream. If this is a “New Normal” it is awful for all of us . Again, not good food , just ok, not worth the money All tasted the same. I. The past (was there many times before, few years back) food was great and would have paid $80 I’m NOT coming back !

It’s my favorite restaurant! Never disappoints! Food and atmosphere are always 100 and the drinks are great. It’s a fun stop when having company in the city. Guac portions are small and wait staff is average. Never rude nor extremely friendly either. Prompt and never a long wait.

Trying to find a same day reservation in the Village is not easy. This was a shot in the dark and it was fantastic. Good food with dear friends. We ate on the early side (6:00) but never felt rushed, enjoyed a great meal with drinks. We were there a couple of hours. I would highly recommend. The upstairs was less noisy (music) and made for easier conversation.
