   This was amazing! Definitely 10/10 from the time you walk in being greeted by the hostess up until the time you leave. Definitely will come back, steak was amazing and tacos were great. This is a must check out.

   Before I discuss the food, I have to say, if I could give the server Raul 10 stars out of the 5 possible I would. He checked on us and made sure everything was perfect! Food: Every item was delicious. This typically doesn’t happen at restaurants. Usually, there is something I wish I did not order. I enjoyed every dish and drink! I highly recommend: Pork Belly, it melts in your mouth. Guacamole, perfect amount of heat. Ceviche, has subtle hints of delicious fruit. A great touch, I haven’t experienced from other ceviche dishes! Tacos: Camarones and Short Rib, both bursting with flavors that you wouldn’t expect! Great portion sizes and easy to share! Tomahawk: HUGE, we even had leftovers. The flavors were great, it came with 3 types of salt and they took the flavor to a whole new level! Potatoes and broccoli sides were also great, not your average sides, again bursting with flavor! Make sure you come here for a special occasion too! The churros they serve on special occasions are to die for! We ordered 3 drinks, one of which was the house margarita, it was strong and delicious. Mike the manager also is very personable and ensures that customers are taken care of! The ambiance: 10/10 great lighting , romantic, and head downstairs for a great mirror photo! Parking: $10 CASH lot available on the same block, great for our rainy evening. Overall, made my boyfriend and my birthday very special and memorable. We will be back!

   Thanks for providing wonderful ambience, delicious food, and exceptional service. We were happy with the attention to allergy details on your menu. Those details make it easier for those with allergies. Our waiter was also helpful and pointed out the menu options that could easily be tweaked to accommodate a gluten free need. The tortilla soup was exceptional and the tuna tacos divine. You wont go wrong with the fresh and guacamole or the crab cakes to start. We recommend and will return.

    The food and drinks were really good. I got the enchiladas and Mercado margaritas were amazing. The ambiance was so beautiful however management was very confusing. My friends and I wanted to take pictures and we were told not to because of the disturbance of other guests. We understood and refrained from taking them. He then told us to we could take them closer to closing downstairs so we went down at 11:58 as they close that part at 12. We tried to take pictures again away from any straggling guests and were told we cannot do any flash photography. I explained to the server that the manager told us we could and he came over and said there are still guests so to go back upstairs to take them. He then tried to apologize for the confusion but by that point we were all taken aback. Our pictures never once disturbed a guest nor was the flash ever faced towards any other guests. I would give the place a 7.5/10 because of the good food and drinks however management and some not all of the workers there made us feel uncomfortable.

    I came here for my birthday and it was pretty good. The food came out pretty quickly considering it was super packed. Our waiter was attentive as well. The only complaint we had is that the fish had so many bones in it that my aunt couldn’t enjoy it. If you’re looking for an appetizer to try, I would recommend the pork belly.

    I went during brunch so this review is not indicative of their dinner menu. The ambience and decor are nice. I loved the bottomless brunch option for food and drinks because I got to try all of the items on the brunch menu. Food was a 3.5 out of 5 for me. Food was more like small plates. Drinks were a hit, definitely left tipsy lol. Customer service by Troy was amazing. He made the experience better!

    The food was amazing. Unfortunately the whole experience was ruined due to our server possibly being racist. He never asked for our orders, never checked up on us, filled our waters, or provided any service of any kind. However he did all of the above with the tables next to that had white patrons. So we were left to sit there wondering when we’d eat and drink while watching him carry on conversations and attend to the other customers even though we had been there longer than either party waiting. Very terrible experience.

    For starters, we had the grilled oysters and wagyu beef tiradito. The oysters with chipotle mignonette was a mixture of flavors that didn't seem complementary to grilled oysters nor enhanced their flavors. It overwhelmed our palates and masked any delicate flavors from the oysters. Beef tiradito was good if you enjoy eating somewhat raw beef. The flavors of chili citrus sauce mixed well to marinate the beef but was slightly overdone so the thin beef pieces were just a tiny bit more acidic than one desired. But overall a good dish. For mains, we had the pork shank and short rib. Pork shank was flavorful, but was too dry and had more sauce than needed even if the sauce went well with it. Short rib was the star dish of entire dinner. Melt in your mouth tender, perfectly sauced and seasoned even without any of the complimentary garnish provided. It was just robust flavors and delicious texture that makes one full of joy. I'd eat that dish anywhere anytime. It's perfect as is. Had a tamarindo margarita that didn't taste amazing but it was probably due to my drink preference rather than the drink itself. It seemed like a well done drink but the flavors mixed just didn't do much for me. Overall it was about 50% success rate in our selected items of what we'd enjoyed.

    dLeñaResponded on July 27, 2022Thank you for your feedback. We're disappointed to hear that you weren't satisfied with some of your selections.
