   I really wanted to love this place but unfortunately, it fell short of the mark. Everyone was really nice. The decor is beautiful. The presentation of the entrees was good. The rice unfortunately was crunchy like it had been left in the heater a little too long. I had the Chilaquiles with poblano sauce and unfortunately it was not great. I felt like it was missing some of the tangy flavor that you would expect in a Mexican dish. I think if they would’ve had a tomatillo sauce and added poblano to it or a poblano sauce with some tomatillos in it it would’ve made it the dish a little bit better. I did ask for my eggs to be over easy and they were presented Sunnyside up. the black beans were good. We also had the fajitas. Those had nice flavor and they were presented sunny side up so. The server was really nice, but we kept having to ask for water. And she didn’t check back with us to make sure that our dishes came out right. Parking was not an issue in the area so that was good. the black beans were actually not bad. We also had the fajitas. Those were nicely seasoned.

   Been here 4 times and the food is consistently fresh, authentic and delicious. Lovely and friendly service, garage parking available and beautiful decor. Things we’ve eaten and enjoyed: ceviche, queso fundido, totopos w beef, Del Mar fish tacos, tacos dorados, tacos de carne and elote chile relleno. Margaritas are also outstanding!

   Be fully aware that parking is a challenge and only drive a small compact to park in the garage. It’s a cute restaurant in style. Food was above average. Mojito was superb

   Went with my family once and with friends once. Both times with our 7 month old baby. It was a wonderful experience. Staff were so welcoming and accommodating. Food was outstanding - every single dish from the chips to dessert. Great drinks too! This is quickly becoming our go-to place.

   Food and service were great. Very loud, large party at nearby table made conversation difficult. Hopefully, next time it will be warm enough to sit outside.
