Thought food was excellent. Service was going well until server said her time was up and she was leaving and asked us to close our bill which we did although we were still eating. We paid, continued eating. It's like we were then a thing of the past because nobody came to ask us if we wanted dessert. As a matter of fact we had to ask for a dessert menu from someone we thought was taking over for our former waitress. We got the menu and she never came to ask if we wanted anything so we decided to have dessert and coffee somewhere else on the strip. By the way our original waitress had never left so not sure what that was about.

Great spot! can't wait to go back . I had the steak with chimichurri and it was delicious. We also had their ceviche and guacamole for appetizers. Both were delicious. We had the kids with us (both age 6) and they had chick & beef tacos, fried calamari and a Quesadilla. They loved the food and can't wait to go back. The owner was lovely and had a shot with us at the end. I cannot say enough great things about this place. Highly recommend it.

This a terrific restaurant for Spanish/Mexican fusion cuisine, most notably the delectable "small plates" which are offered here. The staff is extremely pleasant, helpful and efficient.

I showed up to the restaurant and they told me that they weren't serving food that night because "there was trouble in the kitchen" - nobody texted, called or emailed me. A complete embarrassment on a date and an absolute waste of time.
