    We came here for our anniversary dinner and overall had a good experience. We ordered oysters and calamari for our appetizers, which were really good. My husband enjoyed his steak. It was cooked well and full of flavor. I ordered the special birria tacos, which unfortunately weren’t my favorite but everything else was OK. Our server was friendly attentive and made us feel taken care of throughout the evening. A very thoughtful touch was receiving both birthday and anniversary cards from the restaurant which made the evening special. Will come back again to try other food items.
