“We went here for a birthday dinner for a family member. Easily reserved online with no issues on open table. The service was stellar. Prompt, gave suggestions and answered any questions we had. The atmosphere was relaxed and fun. Nice interior with plenty of seating. Lots of parking along the train tracks across the street. Also free parking after 6 pm on Fridays. I belive weekends too, not sure, but we didn't need to pay at the parking box. The food was amazing! Latin flair taken up a notch. Very well done and tasted delicious. The drinks were done right as well and really imaginative. We will definitely return again. Also they gave us a complimentary dessert for the birthday girl 😃 Bellies were full and happy. Thank you for a wonderful evening 😊”
“Let's start out by the price, it's a bit pricey but the food is really delicious. The waitress was very attentive and friendly. I went on a Friday evening and there wasn't a wait for a table of 3. Atmosphere wise it's a really nice place and I recommend for a date night.”
“Food was delicious. 2nd time here and tried other things and everything was just as tasty as the first time. The beef and steak were amazing. We asked for well-done and it was perfect. Juicy, soft and well-done all around. 4 stars on the service because there was only 1 waiter serving numerous tables which caused us to wait a bit longer for refills, and our check. Management should assign more waiters especially on weekends or busy hours. Also, there are no hot or warm drinks here. It would be nice if they offered hot tea or possibly coffee especially during cold days. Overall, we will be back again!!!”
“Phenomenal service, delicious food & drinks, awesome atmosphere with great lighting for pictures especially for date nights. 10-10 🙌”
“This place was great! Came here for my birthday with about 12 others and everyone loved their food and the service. Highly recommend!”
“Not going to lie, this place caught me by surprise. ABSOLUTELY LOVED IT. Very spacious place with fancy dining tables. Was greeted by a very friendly staff. To start of, I had the guacamole which had their own twist to it and came with chicharron, very flavorful. I then Ordered the tampiquena which comes with a juicy steak, stuffed poblano pepper with cheese and veggies, a mole enchilada (the mole was delicious) and cilantro rice. I have no words to describe the flavors each individual item had other than delicious. One of the tastiest dishes I’ve ever had. For dessert, I had the pistachio cheesecake which was the cherry on the top for the review, 10/10 for the whole experience from the staff to the service to the food. I’m definitely coming back and it’s a must get hidden gem .”
