    This place is GORGEOUS. Definitely worth trying for a special occasion or date night, but the food is awesome for any time too. We leaned heavy on the meats - the Frijoles Puercos Estilo (lamb barbacoa) was tender and seasoned perfectly; the HH grilled ribeye taco was tender and flavorful; and the Taco De Cochinita Pibil (pork) was succulent and spicy and perfect. Dessert - tres leches cake that was more like diez leches - was one of the best things I’ve ever had. Sam was our waiter, and he took great care of us, including a little birthday treat. GO HERE.

    Second time to eat here. Love the originality and presentation and food sourcing. Disappointed in their steak entree. $49 and not a good cut of meat. Everything else is great. Fun to share many dishes.

    Simply amazing. Loved the family-style of plates to have a chance to taste a variety of dishes. Each bite was delicious and unique. As a gluten-free pescatarian, there wasn’t a shortage of options. This is a new favorite restaurant!

    Out of this world. The scallops may be the best dish I’ve had in my life. Out of 51 countries.

    1st time I went there in February the service was amazing, even when I sat at the bar area. Today, service was subpar. Also, all of the sudden the music went from comfortable to annoyingly loud. Maybe a bad night. The food is always amazing!
