Everything we ate was yummy. Guac, enchiladas, steak, chicken. The waiter was lovely, helpful, & patient although we did ask him 2x for more chips and ask another table attendant once (3x total). Lowd and fun inside, relaxed dining outside.

This was my first visit, and overall I really enjoyed it. The food (mole enchiladas and tres leches bread pudding) and cappuccino were delicious, but my dessert took a long time to get to me and the waiter didn’t inform me of the delay until I had to ask after already waiting maybe 20 minutes (he was very nice and may have forgotten because it was extremely busy). Luckily, I was seated outdoors because the inside was PACKED and very, very loud.

The service was the highlight. It was a crowded Sat night (good for them) but the tables were too close together. And the dood was mid. The ceaser salad was actually inedible. So overly fishy as to be gross. The enchiladas were good and margs flavorful. But would not go back
