    We arrived on time for our reservation only to be told that there was no food service that day due to staffing issues. Therefore I consider our reservation canceled by the establishment.

    The chips and salsa were very good, as well as the service. Our server was very kind and attentive making sure we had everything we needed. My biggest critique would be the tortillas used for the tacos. They were very disappointing and made it so you couldn’t enjoy the filling. For me a big judge of a Mexican restaurant is their tortillas. Additionally I think there should’ve been a choice of corn or flour.

    Waited 15 mins and no one acknowledged us. Waiter looked at my husband , didn’t say anything.. walked away. We had reservations.. wasn’t as if they were expecting us. Didn’t get to try any food , so I couldnt rate that, but it won’t give me that option. I was really hoping for a different experience. Prob won’t try again

    Made a reservation but still waited 30 minutes to be seated. Service was slow, we were there over 2 hours. Multiple servers around, but spent little time in the dining room attending to guests. We saw one couple sit down and leave.

    Loved the authentic Latin flavors here, from the perfect outside crunch/inside melt in your mouth taste of the empanada appetizer to the perfectly seasoned homemade chips and refritos. The tacos were stuffed full of goodness and had a yummy pan-fried texture on the outside. Don’t miss this little gem; the chef definitely knows what he’s doing!

    A big friend group came into town; we had multiple dietary requirements—this place met our needs. A fantastic spot with great drinks and an awesome menu.

    What a treat. The mushroom empanadas were really something special, though really our whole meal was incredible. We’d ordered extra so we’d have leftovers. Sadly, we realized we’d left it on the table when we got home. Wanted to cry. Food was so good
