Came on NYE. Reservation was at 8. It was a pre-fixed 4 course menu for $90 per person which was not advertised anywhere. We were expecting the full menu. At 9:30, we were served the first course which consisted of 3 bites of lamb and 3 bites of bone marrow between the two of us. We spoke to the manager and asked to leave after realizing we weren’t getting the next courses any time soon. To the restaurant’s credit, they did not charge us for the experience. We tipped the server and left.

Service was spectacular but the amount of food we got was not enough for our table pet recommendation and They also ran out of items we wanted. The menu was shorten since it was New Year’s Eve. Did not have much of a selection. Food took a while to get to our table but our server made up for the slowness of receiving our dinner. Would go back only with a full menu to get a better idea of the variety of food.

Had a great experience dining here. We were celebrating a birthday. The cocktails were delicious! The pulpo was meh, but the guacamole was really good with the steak. The entrees were very delicious, and service was very nice. All in all, great experience

Amazing service and food. From the warm welcome to the server being so kind (Gabriela) and the busser/runner being so attentive, the experience was as fabulous as the delicious and generous servings.

Outback steaks at Morton's prices in a dark, gloomy setting. My ribeye was passable, but with pieces of gristle and bone chips, it was certainly not worth $48. The accompanying potato dish was tasty, but they provided only about 3 tablespoons of it— more like a garnish than a side. As with most Mexican restaurants, they start you out with complimentary chips and salsa. Inexplicably, the salsa lacked flavor— tasted like mulched eggplant. And watch out— if you ask for more chips, they charge you without first advising. Service was earnest, but disconnected— three different people served me, none of whom had good command of English or fully understood what I wanted. Ambience was dark— everything is painted black. Black can be dramatic if well-executed, but this was just— dark. Certainly not a great experience overall, and I would neither return nor recommend this restaurant.
