This very attractive restaurant is new to La Jolla. The menu is limited but will expand. We ordered off the happy hour menu and ate fish tacos, oysters, and a side of rice. Everything was delicious and well prepared. The staff couldn't have been more friendly and accommodating. The main dishes are expensive, but one friend ordered sea bass, which was excellent. There is a full bar and happy hour bargains for wine and beer. The eatery is what I would call a high-end Mexican restaurant with creative cuisine.

The food was ok, expensive 12$ fir small vegetables taco. The restaurant was empty and the bar tender offered us shots and and was nice but we politely declined, he said again holding a bottle of tequila are you sure? We said ok let’s have together with you. After that he charged us for it. We thought it was a gift and when we asked them that said it wasn’t but they will charge us only for one it was like 37$ for the them. I
