This is one of my favorite local Mexican spots. The vibes are so cool, very colorful, lots of beautiful decorations and paintings throughout. You can sit in the dining room for a more quiet relaxing experience or at the bar/ in the bar area if you're looking for something more fun. The drink menu is long and creative- and the cocktails are good! Their menu is good, I've always enjoyed my food, and I love that they have a wide variety of vegetarian options. My only complaint is that I wish the service were better. In my experience I have either been rushed (our server tried to take away a plate while someone was in the middle of taking a bite of their food) or completely ignored with the exception of taking the order. Also have experienced the "tableside guac" not being table side like other reviewers have mentioned. I love this spot- it's worth checking out. Just hope their service improves.

Delivery order placed today!!! My husband and I shared a Sizzling Molcajete and Cajeta Flan( dessert ) ;MOLCAJETE has shrimp, cheese,Nopal ( cactus), steak, chicken on the grill and I felt like if I was eating Carne Asada ( outdoors bb-q/ grill food) at home . Flavor is exactly what you can get in my country Flan was amazing, too... Service: It seems that everything is prepared with love and high quality ingredients ... oh! I forgot to mention tortillas de Harina (flour tortillas ) are handmade and tastes really delicious. All was well wrapped and perfect temperature! thank you guys and see you soon. God bless you !!! ‍

This review is ALL about the blueberry margarita in the margarita flight. Wednesday happy hour special $14 margarita flights. Great deal. Had mango (very good), passion fruit (very very good), raspberry (meh) and blueberry (freaking AWESOME!!!! And I'm not even a fan of blueberry generally speaking!). That blueberry margarita was SOOOO damned good!!! It had the best blueberry taste and was delightful. I highly recommend it. Oh and the beef chimichanga was good too. But it wasn't the blueberry margarita. lol

Nice neighborhood spot to have a quick drink. Husband and I have gone quite a few times to have margaritas. Guacamole is nice and fresh. Service at the bar (we've only sat at the bar) is good and the interior is very cute! Will definitely return.
