Great food, everything we ate was delicious! I'm vegetarian and there were several vegetarian starters/salads, plus one vegetarian taco. Would have been great to have a second vegetarian taco option given how many meaty tacos flavors there were. The guacamole was excellent, as was the spicy watermelon and strawberry salad. The drinks we got were just fine in comparison to the food which stood out. Sat outside, lots of outside tables that had a good ambiance, not too close to the street traffic and plenty of trees and flowers. Friendly and prompt service. Would go again if in the area.

Paulina was our server with others assisting. Half our party were not frequent Mexican food eaters and struggled with the small plate menu but with guidance our server got everybody something they liked and portioned the selections well. One guest did not want anything spicy but really preferred food with little or no spice (hard for this type of small bites restaurant focusing on flavor bomb dishes). Alas, between the servers, owner, and chef, they replaced her meal with an off menu squid ink paella which was delicious (we all had a taste). The service and care really made for a nice evening.

Love the place. I’ve had the braised lamb twice in a row, and I bring home enough for my next day lunch. The helpings are generous. My companion had the flounder twice in a row, so I’ll have to try that the next time.

Incredible first experience. Great food great vibe great service very cool decor. Very comfortable high tops with really comfortable stools. Music was good. Bathroom is clean. People were nice. Dollar oysters, huge surprise and they were really tasty. We got a Smashburger and a salad and some arancini. Highly recommend this place. Some nice improvements to that area of Quincy. Haven’t been there for a while two dollar parking garage ticket in a three minute walk to the restaurant. Just a solid experience.
