   Great experience. Gorgeous restaurant & the food was amazing! The hosts open the door when entering and exiting; loved that as a signature. Felix was wonderful; very attentive. The music was tasteful. Felt like I was listening to my playlist and also not overly loud. The food was superb! Fish tacos, crispy with the green table salsa hit. Summer special was absolute perfection! They even accommodated the request to change the beef enchilada for two cheese enchiladas w/chile con queso. Only negative I would state is there more tables than walking space. Excited to return and try other items off the menu. #OAKFOREST!

   We received a wonderfully warm welcome and had lovely service. Their tacos al pastor are yummy. Thumbs up to the bartender for making me a specialty sweet and spicy martini. Chuck was our waiter and he took super good care of us, especially our three-year-old grandson. He has excellent social skills and was so fun to talk to. A plus was that he pointed out the area next to the patio where the kids can go romp. It came in handy at the end of our meal.

   I felt the food was overpriced and uninteresting. The server was very nice and attentive. Just not quality food for the price.

    If you’re looking for a hidden gem in the neighborhood, this Tex-Mex spot is it! Whether you’re planning a date night, a family dinner, or a fun girls’ night out, this place has it all. The atmosphere is warm and inviting, the food is absolutely delicious, and the drinks are top-notch. I don’t like mezcal but the pineapple mezcal is my go to. From brunch to dinner, every dish is packed with bold flavors and fresh ingredients. It’s the perfect place to unwind, enjoy amazing Tex-Mex, and make great memories. Definitely a must-visit!
