Went for a girlfriends bday and it was great! Got the lychee cosmo and it was pretty good! I’m usually avoid ordering aguachilies at places cause they always seem to mess it up but let me tell you this place has the flavor down! I would definitely go back for this dish :) Atmosphere was great, our waitress was awesome and accommodating. Would definitely come back :)

Last night reminded me exactly why this place is one of my absolute favorites! From the moment you walk in, the energy is electric — and a big part of that is thanks to David. And the DJ , David is truly phenomenal! His service is always top-tier, and his energy is very On another level! You can tell he genuinely loves what he does, and it makes all the difference. The food? Chef’s kiss — every bite feels like a celebration. The DJ keeps the vibes alive, spinning tracks that make it impossible to sit still. Honestly, I come for the full experience: the incredible food, the unbeatable music, and of course… David! It’s not just a restaurant — it’s a whole vibe. 10/10 recommend, every time!

It was my first time at this location. I really liked the space. I have been to the one that used to be on Spruce Street in Riverside and everything is crammed in this location in Corona was very much more spacious will come again. Food was good $40 for all you can eat brunch plus mimosa or Michelada is included. I did go on Easter Sunday so it was busy but overall great experience.
