    Went there last night, as the reviews looked pretty good. The food was awful, except for the guacamole, which was great. I was talked into a "fresh" margarita after ordering a "house" margarita. It was tasteless. I ended up with a "house," which was ok. Overall, a wasted night... Worst tortillas EVER. Thick and tasteless.

    Todo muy bien, pero deben actualizar el menú en el sistema de open table, ya que los precios son distintos a la realidad.

    I absolutely loved the entire experience, we received so much food for what we paid for and even got fresh plates to go. One drink each had the both of us extremely loose and giggly so shoutout to the mixologist that night. Altogether we spent about $150 including tip. Experience could’ve been better had our waiter Jean been better. We got really off or weird vibes from him almost as if he was mocking me or not wanting to serve us (we were the only black ppl inside the restaurant I try not to think I’m getting bad service bc of race but the table around us were white and Hispanic and he was very bubbly and open with them), I didn’t feel it was worth messing up the night to complain to the manager. This was my spouses birthday at that but overall good experience. I HIGHLY recommend the salsa trio and steak quesadillas as well, they’re amazing *kisses fingers*
