The steak torta was DELICIOUS! Mango agua fresca tasted like I was eating a mango without wasting time with bothersome chewing. Frozen coconut margarita (sugared rim) was also a hit. The diaper changing table was out of service--which was a bummer, so we made quick use of the seating near the restroom. Luckily the restaurant wasn't crowded yet. We attended for the pre-fixe Easter Brunch & had a great time taking pictures with the easter bunny.

The food tasted good and everyone was nice. The "Easter Bunny Brunch" was not worth the upcharge, though, and I wouldn't do it again. My kids enjoyed seeing the bunny walking around, and I got a cute picture, but with the prepaid tickets, I paid $21 above the cost of the food and drink. People who had just stopped in for brunch also saw the bunny, without the charge.

Food and service was amazing. Server was so nice and attentive. Gluten free options were plentiful. It was my daughter's birthday and they gave her a free drink which was so nice. Definitely recommend.

The food was delicious and the service was great. We were the first guests to arrive that day at noon and the music was very loud given the restaurant was empty other than us. That was the only downside.

We came in tonight for my sister’s birthday. We actually came here for the first time a year ago for her last birthday and have been back so many times since! The food is on point and it is super consistent; Every visit it tastes exactly right. Guacamole, Arabic tacos, brisket tacos, fish tacos, birria, and the torta were the stars of the show! And always are. I know that’s a lot, but it’s true. They’re always delicious. Their special marg & every other drink was delicious too, never too sweet, always balanced. Thanks again, Chela! We’ll be back for sure.
