Very overpriced for lackluster small dishes and even worse service. Everyone who works there seems like they would rather be somewhere else. Not worth it.

It is gorgeous. Amazingly unique, you feel like you are in Tulum. Our waiter was very nice and good. The hostess was a nasty piece of of work that almost scared us away from eating there. The food was of high quality with good flavor. Lots of healthy options.

Always good food and the table service was great, but we had to wait an hour past our reservation before we actually got seated at a table, which is especially challenging with kids. I appreciate that it’s a busy place but after checking in with the hostess at 645 for a 7pm reservation, our party of 6 wasn’t seated until 7:55pm despite being on time for our reservation and standing adjacent to the hostess stand after checking in with them twice. I’m confident that multiple tables of similar size were seated during this hour who didn’t have a reservation meanwhile we were just asked to continue waiting

I always love bringing people here… It’s such a beautiful scene. I always appreciate that. They make gluten-free chips for me.

Alright so ambience and vibes and customer service amazing. The food not so much. I think you are paying for the name because everything tasted similar to an hole in the wall spot in our neighborhood. The presentation of food was wonderful but nothing was special. We order shrimp ceviche and it was basic and they forgot to include the tostada and only served one which is strange for that price. The taquitos were good but nothing magnificent. It just tasted like the ones at our local taco spot, only difference was presentation. I also ordered fish tacos and bit into a shrimp taco and nothing special. The last thing ordered was the worst it was Fideo Del Mar and It sounded amazing but then we got it and it tasted like kraft mac and cheese. We actually just ate the scallops and shrimp and crab and left the noodles and didn’t take it to home. It’s so expensive here and I don’t think the food matches the energy of the ambience.

This place was fun and good to experience. A bit to loud, drinks way to strong! And food was decent but the ambience was good.
