“No tienen idea de lo bien que se vive el ambiente en este lugar, gran sabor y excelente servicio. 100 de 100”
“I love the atmosphere and the decoration of the place, the food and drinks 10 out of 10 ... with plans to return on my next visit. Only the girl who attended us was not her best day and the vibes are transmitted”
“If I could give more than 5 I would! Food is 10/10. The butter lime shrimp app is so good and the tacos are definitely marinated for a long time - so much flavor ! The bartender on Thursday Kason (don’t know how to spell it, he works on Thursday’s) makes the BEST drinks! Nuevo/nine is a server and he is so sweet and so personable. Definitely go check out this location !”
“Chill vibes, music was too loud so it was hard to hear the soft spoken waitress. Food recommendations were enthusiastically given. The Friday night appetizer special was the flautas and they were excellent!!!! I ordered a side of rice and beans and that accompanied my dish very well. Place is smaller than what I expected but it was very cozy.”
“Went for Happy Hour. Cute strong drinks. Oysters & tacos were great. Will def go back.”
“Very good aguachiles and shrimp tacos. Would go back. Nice ambiance. Service was quick and friendly.”
“I walked by this spot so many times, and was so excited to finally visit just before the holidays. The interior is so well decorated, it felt cozy yet stylish and trendy! The food was outstanding, we tried a couple of dishes and I would order any of them again. We got the queso fundido, battered shrimp Tacos, fajitas, and the pasta Poblana, and the taste and quality were excellent for each. We also tried the margarita flight, and each drink was delicious and refreshing. I love that they have daily specials (advertised on tables) and a Happy Hour! Really can’t recommend this spot enough”
“Lovely experience celebrating a birthday here! The food was sooo good! Twas a bit pricey, but the ambiance, service and drinks made it worth it.”
“Very fun setting and vibe after just popping in while walking around the area. The Aquachile was delicious, beer cold, and will be back, Kylie and the staff were all great.”
“Food is exceptional, especially the pork belly tacos. Not the fastest service but it doesn’t take away from the experience. Good vibes and tasty well priced cocktails”
“First time eating here; I went to celebrate my friend’s birthday and definitely worth it!! damn the food!!!!! Everything was delicious with amazing flavor and the drinks were really good, not water down. The service was wonderful and very friendly! I’m definitely coming back here!!”
