    we were given a table on the upper floor which is not as interesting and glamorous as the base level in Meximodo. Also did not find the person serving us very friendly.. the portions of appetizers were very small.

    I didn’t like our table but we had 7 people eating. The chairs are awful to seat in. Are waitress knew how many people were sitting at the table yet only brought one bottle of water. I had to ask her to bring out two more bottles, and I noticed that she was then filling the bottled water with the filtered water during real refills. Instead of asking would you like more bottled water? That’s just a major pet peeve of mine. Also, when the waiters bring out food, they should be asking who ordered what instead of putting the wrong food in front of people. Two people at the table ordered steak. It came out rubbery. They were very disappointed. The chef apologize, but the GM was trying to convince them they order something else which makes no sense. The second order of steak was much better than the first. All the other dishes were delicious . The margarita wasn’t that great, but the cosmopolitan was really good.

    Seated us upon arrival for reservation (15min early). Quick and attentive service. Great booth spot. Margaritas were exceptional. Food was delicious and all 3 generations of the family enjoyed it. Parking validation was a bonus. :)

    And what attracts me to this place is the ambience. The food was OK I found that the.Birra tacos were very very salty, croquetas were delicious and the presentation to the croqutas were amazing! The drinks weren’t as scrumptious as a regular bartender prepare their drinks. Maybe it was because certain drinks are made different ways so need to go back and just try their drinks and take it from there. I give this place actually a four star and I think that they should put more Tapas choices added onto the menu

    First time there, food was delicious and service was quick. Would recommend the corn flan dessert for sure. Large selection of drinks not just tequila. Will definitely visit again!

    Everything was great. But when we came in and asked to be seated at a round table for my husbands birthday while the whole restaurant was empty, the hostess told us that we strictly need to be at a table of her choosing. Not the best hospitality knowledge on the staff part.
