    Ordered four apps instead of two apps and two mains. The problem is it all came at the same time. It was confusing and felt rushed.

    I have eaten at high end restaurants around the world and this one is not it. The food was under whelming. We tried the yellow fin tuna, queso fundido, caesar salad, filet, tacos with bone marrow, manchego potatoes and 2 desserts. There was no bone marrow.. not even in the tacos. We asked if the frites were hand cut and our waitress so no they are frozen. The drinks were good and that’s about it. I have only left a few reviews for several exceptional places and this was a disappointment.

    A Flavorful Escape to Mexico in the Heart of Dallas!! From the moment you walk in, you're greeted with warm hospitality and a colorful, festive environment that sets the tone for a great meal. The menu is packed with traditional Mexican dishes, and everything we tried was bursting with flavor. Service was attentive without being overbearing, and our server was happy to offer recommendations. The margaritas were also top-notch—especially the spicy jalapeño version. Great service

    Bartender service was impeccable- we had to be reseated three times due to the cushions being damp from the rain (first time), then they moved us (table was “already taken” and then we were seated at another table. Rest of evening was very nice. We would go back for sure. Food was excellent!

    Debbie, thank you for the kind words and I am sorry about the beginning! Glad you had a great time.

    Absolutely loved it! It was a date night and my husband and I are vegetarians. We had the roasted cauliflower , fresh guacamole and the Mexican chopped salad. The food was amazing, and the portions were huge. We have to go back to try the rest of the delicious sounding stuff on the menu. Special mention to our server - she was v attentive and gave us great recommendations !
