Shrimp Tacos were meh....shrimp were few & tiny; but were good. Both the carnitas & the marinated pork tacos were excellent. Drinks were very good also. Outdoor seating was also very, very nice. We went for a quick drink & a a quick casual dinner on a Monday night...just a quick break from it all. EXCELLENT for that.

Excellent little gem in Bryn Mawr. Our server was great, very attentive and had great suggestions to order. The food was some of the best I’ve had. The platters are the way to go! My burrito had few very shrimp in it but the flavors were there. HANDS DOWN - BEST GUAC I’ve had since a few years back at a place in Florida. Definitely returning soon.

The food was good. The service was not. We had a reservation for 7 people to celebrate a family birthday. When we were seated, we realized our table only sat 6. I told the hostess who seated us this and she pushed another chair at me and walked off. When we tried to sit everyone around the table, we saw that we could not all fit. Two of our party are seniors. We asked if we could pull another table over and we’re told that the other tables were all reserved for people who made reservations. I said that we also made a reservation for 7 but we could not fit at the table they had given us. We were then told there was a high top table that seats 12 - was that big enough for us? We said ok and were told to move there. The person who moved us then came back and started pulling tables together, stating loudly that the table we were sitting at had been reserved for a party of nine, but whatever. I got up and said that we did not need to sit at the large table, we just wanted a table where we could fit and was told “ No, no, stay there.” Had we not been out for a birthday celebration, I would have left. The rudeness was unnecessary and uncalled for. It made us all feel bad. The upstairs dining room had only one other table seated during the time that we ate. There were many open tables around us. The table for 9 did not arrive until we were paying our bill. We will not be back.

My daughter and I made reservations and were presented with our table near the door and host stand. Meanwhile there were three other open tables. I inquired about taking one of those and was told they were being held for reservations. Not happy since we also made reservations, we accepted the table which had a severe slant that took 3 attempts to level. Within 5 minutes of our reservation two couples took two of the other tables. Really? Your worst table goes to the first reservation to arrive?!? The food was disappointingly bland to cap off a less than poor start. My advice? Try Limon a few doors east on Lancaster Ave.

The food was excellent. The people were super nice and respectful. I was a little disappointed with the service for three reasons. 1, they brought out my wife’s entree along with the appetizers instead of with everyone else’s entrees. 2, they gave my daughter the entree meant for another table. It was fixed quickly though. 3, my dish was supposed to come with a side of rice and beans. My server said he would bring them right. I asked him for them about 10 minutes later, he said he would bring them right away. At the end of dinner I realized I never actually got the sides.
