    I want to give this restaurant a 4 1/2 to 4 and three-quarter rating. The food was very good. It really reminded me of a local shop in Mexico City or a main city of Mexico. It was, however, extremely loud with techno music and it made conversations between party members very difficult. I took my mom here for her birthday and I would not suggest doing that. I feel as though going here with friends for a drink after work or on an evening out would be the best way to go here.

    My daughter has her 1 year wedding anniversary coming up. During my reservation requested I mentioned this. They were absolutely so wonderful to us. We had a table of five. They took extreme care, gave them a special desert with one candle (for the 1 year) and wrote on the plate. The food was wonderful & everyone was thrilled. Thank you again. Rhonda

    We are from California and our first time here. When I walked in I thought I was in the wrong place. It looked closed as they were painting inside and it didn't look inviting. The FOOD is delicious. Worth it. The City is dirty and will probably not visit again!!!
