   The food is not authentic to true Mexican cuisine. I would head to Kennett Square if you want the real deal for Hispanic cooking.

   Came for a work anniversary celebration. Cocktails were outstanding and the food and service were good. The music being played was some of my favorite 90’s alternative, but didn’t fit with the vibe of the restaurant. Small idiosyncratic comment that wouldn’t stop me from returning!

   The waiter wasn’t very knowledgeable about the menu. The food was ok. The ceviche was mediocre. There wasn’t anything more than quesadillas, as far as a kids’ menu goes. It was just a so-so experience and I would not recommend for families.

   Took 30 min to take our order….no napkins , dinnerware and we have flag the waiter to take our order. Another 25 min to bring our food. The food did not have any taste , no salt ti seasoning as in nothing, asked for lime and salt to put some taste. This is the only time I felt bad paying the bill. They don’t deserved to be in this section of town.

    Food order got lost. Waited over an hour for our meal. Their margs are mostly ice and barely have anything in them. Overall, not worth the price.

    The only redeeming thing of the night was the chips and guac. The drinks were okay. The Al pastor tacos had zero flavor. And the team was definitely short staffed which is not their fault, just made for a long wait for disappointing food. Would not come again.

    The QR code menu was annoying. It seemed to work well for iphones but not samsung. Cool idea - but it made it so that people were on their phones from the get go, and we had to borrow other's phones

    As always The food is absolutely phenomenal! The guacamole is superb and obviously freshly made to order. Unfortunately they are understaffed like the rest of the world at the moment which was the only rough spot. Our waitress was phenomenal and was clearly doing her best. Cannot wait to return! My opinion is, get the short rib enchiladas, maybe even two orders!!! 😋

    When I first got there, I was told that they’re booked before the server even said hello. I didn’t like that at all. A server should always display manners. The food was amazing and I enjoyed the energy. Very busy and a little loud. Perfect for after work food and drinks. The place overall is great.

    I cannot express enough how disappointed I am at the service at this establishment. I attempted to hold an international business dinner, but instead my reservation was not honored. I arrived at the restaurant on time with 7 executives to find that my reservation, which was confirmed twice (including on the day of) could not be honored. This meant that I would have to find a restaurant in center city Philadelphia that could seat 8 people at prime time, without a reservation. Describing my experience as a 1 out of 5 does not even come close to represent the bad taste that has been left in my mouth.

    This place is a hidden gem. The food is absolutely delicious. The atmosphere was very romantic and quiet. The chef came out and asked how our food was, and also gave us a dessert on the house. We will absolutely be promoting this spot.

    This was actually the worst dining experience I have had in Philadelphia. They were running a Valentine’s Day special, and my lady and I both ordered from the menu, including an appetizer of guacamole and chips. It took over an hour for the appetizer to come out. After over 2 hours passed from our initial ordering, we inquired from the waitress how long it would be for our food, and she said “I honestly have no idea, our kitchen is so backed up”. So we closed out and left, at 9:45 at night on Valentine’s Day, after getting there at 7:15. That is 2.5 hours wasted, and what could have been a romantic valentines dinner turned into an ordeal. I will never go back to this restaurant, and recommend you never rely on them for a quality dining experience.

    The BEST Mexican food I’ve ever had. A delicious Gourmet version of Frijoles Charros that I would never have imagined and Bronzino Veracruzana as delicious as in Veracruz. Highly recommended.

    This restaurant has been here forever and I just got around to trying it. Here are the pros and cons: Pros: 1) Esquites - Very good 2) Short Rib Enchiladas - The enchiladas were very good and filling but the sauce was a bit bland. Too much like tomato sauce. Needs a bit more spice. My buddy and I both had the same dish and felt the same way. 3) Red Sangria - First pitcher great, second pitcher not so good (seemed watered down). 4) The servers were prompt and very nice. Cons: 1) Very small and cramped. All and all, I would come back again….
