Ah-mazing! Loved this restaurant! Only a couple blocks from our condo. We will definitely be back. The octopus appetizer was SO good! So worth it! The pork shank and the rib tips were spectacular. So tender and flavorful. Margarita and non alcoholic cocktails were great as well. So excited about this place!
