We were able to get a table last minute after going to the Dodgers baseball game. Had a wonderful meal on a beautiful warm night. Hadn’t been there for a while and glad we remembered how terrific it was.

Definitely a great vibe but just know they will charge you $4/person if you are there celebrating someone’s bday and one of the presents so happens to be a box of cookies that you share. I understand a cake cutting fee if they actually cut and bring plates/utensils but this is a bit much imo. Not a place for a celebration just go for ambiance or a date night.

Drinks and guac were good but something was up with food the quality. It was Mother’s Day so expected to be busy but the food was not as good as before. We have been here many times before and it was good overall especially the carnitas. Not sure what happened but the quality of the food seemed to have dropped significantly. Maybe they’re trying new things or a new chef but it was definitely a drop overall. Just my opinion, others may think different.

Hoping I don’t get sick! I’ve been coming to this restaurant for a few years now. Every time, it has been wonderful; however, this time it was very disappointing. We ordered the chicken sabana and it was undercooked. We ate the edges and didn’t realized until we got to the middle that the chicken was still pink. We notified the server and he immediately took our plate. However, a different server tried to explain that a sous vide cooking process is used, which ok great, but the chicken SHOULD NOT BE COMPLETELY PINK. Overall great service from staff (not the kitchen) but we’re just hoping we don’t become ill from this.

Loved that one of the runners at 10:15pm ish offered to help us get dessert for my friends birthday when we didn’t know if the kitchen was closed yet or not. She went above and beyond and was so kind. The n/a sour was beyond amazing.

My chicken was severely undercooked, which is a serious health risk. I brought it to the waitress’s attention and hope she passed the message along to the kitchen. This needs to be addressed to prevent it from happening again.
