Outstanding. Get here before the locals figure out how awesome the food and the service is here. You will not be able to get in once that happens. Thank you to both an incredible front and back of house staff. Food is remarkable.

This place is absolutely amazing! The food is exceptional—some of the best I’ve ever had. As someone who has dined at many Mission restaurants, I can confidently say this one stands out. Every dish was flavorful, beautifully presented, and truly memorable. However, my experience was slightly marred by the service. Our waitress seemed overly pushy, constantly encouraging us to order more dishes by emphasizing that each item was "just one bite." While I appreciate recommendations, the persistent upselling felt uncomfortable and took away from the otherwise enjoyable meal. Despite this, the quality of the food and the overall ambiance make this restaurant a must-visit. I’d definitely return, though I hope the service can match the excellence of the cuisine next time.

This restaurant so good that we came back for a second time on our vacation so we could try some other things. Once again, we totally loved our experience! Yolanda was our server and we truly enjoyed her. She was knowledgeable and fun and helped make the evening great. We ate the Wagyu skewers, and it was absolutely incredible. The pan fritas are so good. We had them for appetizer for dessert. Asparagus was unique, and we really enjoyed that. We also had a fig dessert that was super tasty. Anyway, you’re looking for a superior experience, amazing service, amazing food from a top chef… This is the place.

We were so excited to try this restaurant and walked away disappointed. Flavors were flat - blue shrimp tostada. Sea bass (fish of the day) was OK but not great - fish was overcooked. Octopus was OK but not exceptional. We shared the plates (2 of us) but felt the prices were a bit high for the portion received. We had high hopes for this place but won’t be returning.
