    One of the best restaurants in the area. From service, to food, to ambiance. Higher quality than most of what is available in the neighborhood. We've always avoided the area due to parking limitations but there is now some additional street parking available that we've been able to grab consistently. Really hope this place lasts, a family favorite.

    Pros: Good service & good drinks. Great guac! There’s a discount if you pay cash. Cons: Pricey. Parking isn’t so great if you live nearby just take an Uber. Be prepared to pay a little extra if you pay with your credit/debit card. The chicken flautas appetizer needed some more flavor but were good. The steak and steak tacos tasted a bland and were very small considering the price. Yuca fries were a hit but the dipping sauce it comes with wasn’t good at all. Maybe if it came with mojo it would of been better. Overall it was an okay experience. They just opened up so hopefully they take their customers feedback and consider changing a few things to get that 5 star rating.

    Nice place, was a little too dark where I was sitting. I had a problem seeing the menu. I've been there before and will continue to go.

    Service was slow. There was some confusion over who was our actual server as 2 waiters came over to take our orders. The food was presented beautifully. Only if it tasted as good as it looked. 🙁 I went with a friend for an early dinner and I was starved because I hadn't eaten all day. I ate half my appetizer and entree. It was not great at all. In addition the prices were steep, for both food and drink. Shouts to Fernando. He had to move us to accommodate a big party and gave us a free round as a thank you for being good sports about it. I'd go back for the overpriced, but great cocktails, but that's about it. The music was loud enough to vibe to, but not so loud you are yelling across the table at your friend. Bottom line, this restaurant over priced for the quality of food they serve, and slow service.
