   Food was great! Service was good. Music is loud but they kept trying to turn it down, then it would go back up. Either way it’s a great spot for a celebration or a night out. Food was def delicious tho! Did I mention that? lol

   The food and drinks were amazing, 5/5. We were a party of 5 and every single plate of food was a mouthful of distinct flavors. I was leary because I’m familiar with the state of Durango where my family is from and thought perhaps this was just going to be another Mexican restaurant but the chef has elevated it by 10. I can tell he poured his heart and soul to incorporating some of the regional dishes and ingredients from Durango. The ingredients Durango is known for are the Mennonite and quesillo, nopales, and beef (livestock is front and center in Durango, along with mezcal. The must haves: fried menonita cheese balls, yellowtail ceviche crudo, short rib, trenza de chocolate y churro with dulce de leche. The decor of the restaurant is beautiful with special touches that make this a truly special place for celebratory dinners. Also the roof top is now open although we were not able to experience it due to the rain. In good weather they have a prime view of Rancho Cucamonga peak. I would say it’s worth dressing up for a night out, dressy casual at minimum. I can’t wait to go back and try some more of the wonderful food.

   Great ambience, service, we did have to wait about 15-20 with a reservation. The food was good. The short ribs and ribeye were delicious the tacos were good but not great. Our server was attentive and even gave us free churros. Would definitely go back.

   Beautiful decor. We had the fried cheese balls, yellowtail and carne asada tacos and all 3 were so delicious. Vibrant flavor in their plates. We tried 5 cocktails and all were delicious. Inside or out, you can’t go wrong. Outside has plenty of heaters. Rooftop wasn’t open yet to check out.

   The cocktails were delicious, and the food had great ingredients, however, did not seem freshly made and was a bit chilly. Our appetizer came out late, which was not ideal but thankfully the server was gracious to take it off the check. I would definitely come back to give it another try but wanted to share that for the management staff.

   This was our first time here. Right away, you could see how beautiful the restaurant looked with the murals and designs of Durango. Along with the lighting and music, you felt the ambiance and it was welcoming. The staff welcomed us with smiles as they escorted us to our table. They were very attentive throughout our dining experience. The food and cocktails were delicious along with an excellent presentation and dessert, chocolate filled churro's, were perfectly warmed and soft with just the right amount of crunch. We were politely met by Irfan, the gentleman in charge of the restaurant. He was kind and made us feel well taken care of. He mentioned the hotel accommodations at the location along with a fabulous rooftop bar area to come in May of 2025. We can't wait! At the end of the evening, were we told ourselves, "This is our spot!"

   Was here last Monday night for dinner. Much better service, food, experience vs today. Got there at 2:30 today and menu was quite limited. Cesarito Salad was a few leaves of romaine lettuce and small amount of dressing, very small amount of chicken, and mostly toasted bread with Parmesan cheese. We asked a few times for creamer and sugar for our coffee and finally had to ask the manager. Server rushed us to pay for bill, and they started cleaning up table while we were still sitting there talking. Not cool. Also no dessert available until 4pm. I have reservations to go back for dinner for a bday celebration on May 7 and 3rd time is a charm, 3rd time will determine whether or not I go back again.
