   Loved the ambiance. The rustic guacamole was very good - we had it with the rib eye chicharron to try something new and it was good. Service was mediocre, the food was a little overpriced, and the margaritas were small (served in a round champagne glass, not a margarita glass). I had the Grilled Mary's Chicken and it was so salty, I could not eat it (the wait staff removed it from our bill). The steaks were good, not great, and while cooked perfect on the inside, they were charred on the outside. It made the steak crispy on the outside but took away from the flavor of the steak (my husband had the NY Strip). We were excited to try the new restaurant but unfortunately will not be returning.

   Had to request waters to be refilled multiple times. Guests' meals were staggered with 2 Guests being done with meal BEFORE the last 3 entrees for the other Guests arrived. Entrees were all lukewarm. Food lacked flavor. Definitely overpriced and will not be returning.

   I have not one negative thing to say, and I am a fine dinning guy, been all over and have eaten at the best of the best. I would call this place causal fine dinning and everything was just great. Best steak I have had anywhere. Grilled octopus was awesome, most places give you one tentacle, Here they give you a very generous portion. The owner Edwardo I believe his name is was very personable and friendly and really cares about his customers satisfaction. Looking forward to going back.

   Went for an anniversary dinner and it will definitely be a regular spot. Sebastian was an outstanding waiter with all the perfect recommendations. Kitchen was spot on and had our appetizers out so fast, I thought they were another tables. The bone marrow and ceviche was on point. We had the chimmichurri steak, I was upset when it was gone. Even being full I wanted more. From previous reviews I can say this restaurant is getting their feet up under them and providing excellent service and outstanding food. We will be back.

   Really disappointed in the service level of the restaurant. For a place that wants to be a quality and high-end restaurant, the service was a nightmare. Tables ran an hour behind their reservations (booking ahead literally did nothing) Our waitress was ok but flustered and non-attentive/slow. We would have to remind her we asked for things multiple times— like that we needed more than 1 spoon for the 3 salsas on the table (due to allergies/cross-contamination). One time, one of the hostesses interrupted our server while we were in the middle of ordering lol. Service aside— the food was incredible. Honestly, if I could serve myself and only have the food... I would. It was tremendous and I’ll return only for the food. Hopefully they can get the service side down, because for a place that charges $30-$80/ entrees they operated like a McDonald’s.

   It’s a new restaurant so there were a lot of people hanging out and not leaving so we ended up sitting down about 45 minutes to an hour after our reservation time but it’s to be expected for a new restaurant that’s this good. The food was excellent, and the wait staff and hostess we’re working their buns off and were very professional. The ambience reminded me of being at my vacation ownership location in Mexico, it was awesome.

   Such a huge let down, margaritas with patron instead of house tequila - $54 each. Your reservation will be checked in and after waiting 30 min past reservation time they will lose your reservation. Not enough water glasses for the restaurant so you will get water in whatever they have available, don’t be thirsty coming here it took about 30 min to be served water. Won’t be back. 2 margaritas that were not drank because of how bad they tasted, and 1 appetizer after a 25% discount for inconvenience $100+. Waste of money! We asked for the check and left to go eat dinner somewhere else.

    Great new place … very interesting, high-end Mexican food. Great decor and drinks too. A little bit pricey, but I guess in line with the experience they’re trying to create.
