    The food was really good. The drinks were strong and kept flowing. After the Brunch was a day party that had a really nice crowd, bottle service and good vibes/music.

    The service was impeccable. The wait staff catered to all of our needs. They were friendly and very courteous. The food was excellent. I was amazed at the flavor of the greens, (I had them as a side), they were so flavorful. It was a surprise coming from a Mexican restaurant. They taste better than I have had at some Soul Food Restaurants. The only complaint was the guacamole, surprisingly, had no flavor. I was disappointed in this. We had to add lime and jalapeno peppers to it. It helped a little bit so if you order it tell them to make it spicy and add lime to it. Other than that it was a very enjoyable dinner.
