Excellent new find. Food was outstanding. We both had filets along with several starters and interesting sides - including a chile flight! New Mexican options as well as steaks. No boring potatoes and broccoli sides! Service was impeccable. Will definitely be back.

Great. Food was amazing. Presentation was amazing. Only knock on the service was that the table was a bit small and the hot rock presentation on the steak didn’t really work for the sides and those two things ended up combining into us knocking the foot and plates around. A reflection on the form of the service, not the server, who was exceptional.

Excellent crafted cocktails, nice appetizer of a choice of red and green sauces and homemade chips. Albondigas was a huge delicious meatball and the calamari with green chilies was good and unique. Mexican corn and queso fundido were tasty. Would definitely eat here again.
