    Service was excellent! (server Hannah) Smash burger and aguacate were delicious. Mushroom quesadillas were good not great. Drinks were ok. Definitely worth trying once! Just not memorable enough to earn all 5 stars

    We dined here during spring break. We sat outside on the patio. Heaters were available but were not needed. The restaurant was full and inside was pretty loud and dark so we were glad we reserved an outdoor table. The cocktail menu is very creative. I had the Phoenix, which was reposado, lemon, hot honey, and prickly pear. It was amazing! I had birria dumplings starter as my entree, and it was more than enough. All of our group loved their food and drinks. Our server gave great recommendations and was attentive. We had no problem finding parking.

    This place is a gem for some exotic dishes. This was our second visit and we brought a guest. Ordered some special drinks: all good there. And the beef cheek dish as an hors d'oeuvre. We also love the music, which is played somewhat loudly, but no bother. Our server, Hannah paid just the right amount of attention to us, was friendly and took the time to answer our questions. We ordered the skirt steak, ribs, and hamburger, all of which were a delight to the tongue. Thank you for a great meal and memorable time.

    Food is excellent, service is hit or miss at the tables. You will get better service sitting at the bar.

    Excellent all around! Expect a specialized menu with signature choices. We enjoyed ceviche, queso fundido, snapper, and skirt steak. All their cocktails can be prepared alcohol-free for those abstaining. Treat yourself to this gem!

    My first visit and I hope to return. We enjoyed our server’s detailed explanations of the cocktails, and his enthusiasm for the menu. The vibe was upbeat, cheerful, creating an ambiance for a fun evening.

    Fantastic mexican and seafood fusion with delicious specials! We had the barria dumplings and the large whole fish and both were melt in your mouth! Our server was outgoing and terrific at sharing the knowledge of the menu since it was our first time! Drinks were also very good! It’s a small intimate place so reservations are a must! We will be going back! Cheers and thank you Espiritu and staff!
