    Very disappointed with temperature of food. The enchiladas were cold and flat. Portions small and prices high. We won’t be back.

    Everything we ordered was amazing and the flavors were fantastic. My only constructive feedback is 1) lady waitress we had was just not paying attention and not following through with basically anything - drinks we ordered, ready to pay, needing refills. The guy with the thin moustache was the opposite and very helpful. 2) the short ribs with mojo were surprisingly a bit dry but flavor was great. Would love to come here again.

    Ordered Enchiladas Cremosas- Sauce was rich, little meat and poor quality + soda was slighty flat and my guest's meal Cheese Enchiladas Rojas had no noticeable cheese. Ambient was decent, tables are small and a crowd makes it hard to use. In addition rest rooms are combined and need combinations to access lol

    An absolute Gem of a restaurant. The space has a romantic feel to it and is a great place for a Date night. The food is authentic Mexican and done artistically and with a little heat as is common to many places in Mexico. The Ceviche and Enchilada Rojas were perfection. Our Server; Anise was absolutely wonderful. Her desire to make sure we enjoyed our experience was palpable. On the corner of Jefferson and First which doesn’t necessarily see a lot of foot traffic despite being a busy intersection, this is a Go-To destination restaurant. Go and Thank me later…

    Food came quickly, however temperature was low and was generally underwhelming with taste. Wait staff all were very polite but not very attentive. Good if you’re in the area but I wouldn’t consider a destination experience.

    Not gonna have the amazing value of a small authentic Mexican restaurant that serves huge portions that send you into a food coma. But, it is still really tasty and the food is high quality. If you’re not too hungry and want someplace with great food this is a good spot. The quesabirrias were amazing but the enchiladas were lacking in filling.

    Food was tasty and came fast, drinks were interesting and very fun to try. Staff was fast and very friendly, we had gone for our anniversary and they spoiled us with prosecco and a dessert as well as a table card that congratulated us on our anniversary. 10/10 experience overall!

    Our server was so kind and did a great job. Unfortunately this place fell really flat for me and my boyfriend. We made a dinner reservation and ended up just skipping dinner altogether and splitting some tacos after being sat. The restaurant was pretty empty for a Saturday night and I didn’t feel excited by any part of the experience. I hate to bash something I got for free but the chocolate cake they brought me because I had birthday listed on my reservation was barely edible and so dry. The tacos were boring and nothing noteworthy. My boyfriend isn’t picky at all but thought his simple mojito tasted off. My margarita was decent but again, nothing special. Centrico down the street has much better food and vibes for a lower price. I will say the saxophone player at the beginning was a nice touch, but later when they played music they kept skipping tracks/changing the song halfway through which i don’t think I’ve ever noticed in a restaurant before.
