The food was very fresh, healthy and delicious. Good vegetarian options. Excellent service. My only knock would be that we went at happy hour and it was very loud.

The food was fantastic, as was the ambiance. The service and noise level, however, was less than stellar. Perhaps they were short staffed, because when the waiter/runner were around they were great. Regarding the noise level, we were sat outside by the bar and the crowd was overly loud. All to say, we had an overall good experience and would go back - with the caveat of asking to sit inside.

We had a good experience. It was very sweet of them to offer complimentary champagne as it was our anniversary. Food and service was very good. My only critique would be that before choosing the restaurant we had checked the menu on the website and it was pretty large and had lots more vegetarian options. When we went there we were disappointed to see a very small and different menu. Please mention or update your website as it misleads the diners. Although the staff was very helpful in suggesting and making veg options for us and we enjoyed them too.

The staff was amazing. I truly appreciate the patience they bestowed on me as my toddler decided to have a melt down and even brought her chocolate ice cream. Couldn't say enough nice things about the service and the food was great too!

Great and authentic Mexican food (finally) in this entire area. Lots of places that claim are Mexican food but only actually Central and South American and the tastes and salsas are very different. Good menu. Excellent ceviche and queso fundido. They did it right. Great selection of tequila and they nailed it with the cantaritos.

The host was very friendly and charismatic… He gave us a booth even though it looks like it seats larger parties. Our server was good and the food had great flavor especially the grilled fish. Great ambiance and great experience overall.

First time there and liked the small plate concept, servers were very nice and personable but for my tastes food was bread heavy and not exceptional. If you’re not looking for a foodie experience it’s a nice place and reasonable value to sit and visit.
