   Unbelievable experience. Scratch made masa made daily, superb cocktails and a passionate staff. Chef Raz told us a little about each of the amazing dishes we had, Tamal Oaxaqueno, Taco De Pato, Ceviche/Tiradito/Agua Chile. Can’t wait to come back.

   We came for happy hour after seeing Tik Toks about how great it was, we were informed that they’d stopped doing it a week ago. Hours of operation were also inaccurate saying they opened at 3, but now open at 4. We ordered two items to share, the bone marrow was so spicy I was overwhelmed and couldn’t eat anything else. The Molete was difficult to cut into. Would try again for sure, just wasn’t the experience we’d been hoping for. That being said the staff was extremely friendly! And the restaurant was clean.

   We celebrated our Anniversary here and had a great time. We miss having good Tex Mex and we thought a few of the plates reminded us of home. The tortillas and salsa were super good. My favorite dishes were the Sope and Taco de Pato. I like the share your plates concept here because we were able to try a lot more. On the surface each plate may seem expensive however I felt the quality of each dish we ordered matched the price we ended up paying for the whole meal. The cocktails were also super good.

   Good place but did not understand the hype. The prices are pretty insane for the amount of food. 1 tamale for $15 seemed pretty wild to me and the pork belly was almost impossible to cut through with a knife. Most likely won't be back. Overall a good place but I feel there are much better places in the city to visit.

   The food was incredible! So unique but delicious. The menu is a tad overwhelming because it’s in Spanish and different ingredients so ask your server for advice. Molote was a huge hit, beets tostada, carne asada and must have the elote cake!

    I had a reservation for three, when I arrived about 10 minutes early the hostess and host were completely lost. It happened to be about 5° outside and they wanted to seat us by the front door behind the hostess station. I asked if there were any other tables and again they were absolutely completely lost as to how or where to seat me. She directed me towards the bar, which I said if that’s the only table away from the door we will take it. Then she kept coming back telling me I needed to move to a different spot in the bar and then after about 15 minutes, she sat us at a different table. Since the host and hosts are the first point of contact, it seems to me they should be a little less clueless and a little more skilled in doing their job. It was all very odd and confusing. Our server was excellent and described the items very well. I thought the food was good. I thought that tamale was a bit dry and bland. The mole was absolutely phenomenal. It was so delicious. The bartender made me a cocktail and it too was delicious. I felt like the entrées needed a side item. I ordered three dishes and actually left a bit hungry. Again, I would’ve appreciated a side item of a vegetable or another starch. The tortillas were as described and very delicious as was the chard jalapeño butter that came with the complementary tortillas. The ambience the restaurant was lovely. I will definitely give it another try.
