The menu choices that we saw online were not reflected in the menu in the restaurant. There were very few choices and the chicken tacos that we chose were pretty tasteless.

Absolutely satisfied by the customer service here! We went for Mother’s Day, and from the moment we walked in, the staff made us feel so welcomed and taken care of. Everyone was incredibly friendly and attentive without ever feeling overbearing. Our server, Spencer, was an absolute gem—so helpful and on point! The restaurant itself is adorable and spotless, and everything from the food to the drinks came out fast and fresh. It was such a perfect experience—I can’t wait to go back!

Food was good, atmosphere lovely. Service was slow and not very attentive to our needs. We had empty glasses for quite some time. Thee temperature dropped quickly and we asked for a heat lamp, we were told they would check and no one returned. There seemed to be plenty of staff members but everything took a long time.

Food was nice and very innovative cocktail menu. Atmosphere was great although they kept cranking up the speaker that was right next to our table. Didn’t feel like they were reading the vibe of romantic Valentine’s Day. Service was pretty bad. Server was nice but clearly overwhelmed. Never asked if we’d like another round of drinks. Had to physically go up and ask him for our bill (he had his back to us for an extended time) and then still wait another 10-15 mins to get it. I suspect this will get better with more practice. We’ll try again after they’ve established their routine a bit better.

My bf and I went over last night for DineLA. Overall it was a great experience, definitely a cute spot - Instagrammable worthy. Now, let’s get into the food! Their queso fondo is to die for - It’s delicious. Next was the coconut ceviche; it’s a great alternative for those who don’t like seafood/ vegetarian but would like to know what ceviche is/tastes like. The next main dish was the Baja Taco - don’t get me wrong, it was good but for the size I wouldn’t pay $7 (like I said it was good, not great). Lastly, I’m the type of person that enjoys hearing from my server and getting their opinions on item(s) our server spoke to us once, I could tell he didn’t really want to interact, didn’t check on us and during checkout tips were set at 18%, 20% and 22%. Personally I would have tipped 15% due to the lack of interaction but I hate changing the tip to custom - I tipped 18%. But regardless I will be back - loved the vibe, food and how fast the food came out.
