    I arrived for my reservation on Saturday evening and was immediately seated at the bar. The service was prompt and cordial during a busy Saturday night. I ordered a specialty margarita and the chicken mole and was not disappointed. The chicken mole is really the best in the city. Thank you. I do recommend and will return.

It's wonderful to hear our team took great care of you during the busy night, and we're especially happy the chicken mole hit the spot – it's truly a guest favorite! We appreciate your kind words and recommendation. Can't wait to welcome you back soon! #MexicanFood #Tacos #MexicanRestaurant #Margaritas #AuthenticMexican

    We had lunch and dinner here during or weekend trip. The food was amazing. The drinks were incredible. The service was fast at lunchtime. It’s a little slower at dinner but that’s because they’re usually very busy at night. The noise level is much higher at night as well.

    Came here for date night after a very pleasant experience a few weeks prior. Made a reservation for standard seating and was placed at a high top table as there were no other options. Not the biggest deal but would prefer what I reserved for. Waited 10+ minutes and no one greeted our table. The host got the manager to take care of us but pretty sure no one would have came if we didn’t say anything. Food and drinks came out quickly and was delicious, but was missing a slice of the birria pizza. Normally wouldn’t be a big deal but felt we needed to say something after the poor experience we were already having. That said, we loved the food and drinks, but unfortunately the overall service made it unpleasant and will likely not be returning :(
