Went to Movida with my wife for our 14th wedding anniversary. The host was really welcoming, the ambiance was energetic and fancy. The food was delicious of a great quality especially the meat and the shrimp. We even tried and enjoyed their signature Tequila Leon Y Sol. Highly recommended!

Movida made it completely impossible for me to cancel my reservation. There isn’t a way to speak with a human being and they direct you to the wrong service to cancel the reservation. The voicemail is full so that you cannot even leave them a message. Why make this impossible? Things come up. I will never come eat here now.

The service was excellent. The music and ambiance was great. The food was innovative and really good. We loved the chips and dipping sauces (tahini queso, piece de Gallo, eggplant), the beef kebabs (khoubideh), as well as the salad w chicken kebobs
