    First time food was not great, was actually below average, eg. the enchiladas’ tortillas were not fried, so no real enchiladas. This turns the tortilla into a chunk of ‘masa’ with a nasty flab

    The noise and live music were so loud on Jan 29, and made everyone talk louder so everyone could communicate with each other. The waiter first came to say "hi" and walked away for more than 10 mins, waiting for him to come back so we could order our food. The chips and salsa y tostada were okay, but the food which I ordered was Enmoladas, the chicken was dried and the tortilla was dried too even it had the sauce on. I don't know maybe it will depend on everyone's taste, so we will have difference opinions. But my family and I were not impressed. Special the music was unbelievably loud.

    A great place to hang with friends or your your better half. Not too noisy. Food was great. Service authentic. The best expresso martini. The coffee was above par in this drink. I could definitely sit and eat at the bar next time. Make reservations this place gets packed but leave room so it's not over crowded. Definitely on my best list.
