We have been here one other time before and we’re not impressed. But We wanted to give it a second shot and we also had a gift certificate. First of all the inside is depressing. White walls, no character what so ever and the lighting is terrible. The first time we ate here it had a nice red brick patio that no longer exists. Now it feels more like you're eating in someone's basement. The food wasn't bad but we've had better Mexican food for less money. It's unfortunate because with the Michelin Star ratings and the time it takes to get a reservation I expected much more.

Sit at the bar or come with a large party, otherwise they will sit you in an area of no ambiance, (no music, no space between tables, no comfortable seating, no lighting). A little pricey for food that is just ok. As an example, a side of rice costs $7. I was honestly expecting to be wowed and everything more or less was just ok.

Wasnt that good like they say. Service was bad, drinks needed a bit more of flavor. The tacos al pastor were a little dry. Rice and beans, rice a was spicy sent it back twice but they still said it wasnt spicy at all. Overall didnt really enjoy it. The only flavorful dish was the mole, other than that not good.

The food was okay, but I think I had my expectations higher with it being a michelin star restaurant. Also, coming from someone who is Mexican, I expected better mole enchiladas and guacamole, which lacked salt, lemon, onions, and jalapeños. The margaritas were good though and the tres leches.

The food was amazing but overpriced. The server was very good but there were too many tables for her to service. A lot busboys cleaning up and bringing out food. The server was overwhelmed by having too many tables to serve so we had to wait a lot for her to come around.

I wanted to experience the food and am posting because I would have appreciated a heads up regarding the amount of screaming infants that were there for Sunday brunch. There were adorable, older, quieter children as well, but our table between 2 families with screaming babies ruined the atmosphere. The food looked amazing, albeit spicy, and I may try to go again if I am back in the area during school hours.

The margaritas kicked off the evening nicely. Always worth the money when a place does not use cheap tequila. The guacamole was extremely fresh and we love the sauces that came with it so we could spice it to our liking. When our entrees arrived we knew we were in for a treat and we were not disappointed. The Carne Asada was some of the best meat we've ever had. It was cooked perfectly and the seasoning was mouthwatering. We also had the De Pollo En Salsa Verde which had a nice kick to it and looked exactly like the pictures on yelp, which is not often the case. We were too stuffed to order dessert, but already decided we will be back again to try more of the menu.

Food was fresh and outstanding. I work in the industry and I must say the service was on point and truly made the overall dining experience. Leo was an excellent and attentive server along with the incredible support staff. Busser/food runner was a ninja! He was fast, polite, and aware, yet not invasive. Staff seemed generally happy to be working there which is half the experience. Thank you for a wonderful meal! I’ll definitely recommend and return for a third time in the near future.
