Had a wonderful dinner here! Our server was fantastic and gave us spot-on recommendations. The food was absolute perfection and truly captured an authentic Mexican vibe. The restaurant itself has a gorgeous, moody aesthetic with a cool, intimate atmosphere. My only minor critiques are that the tables are placed quite close together, and because the background music is a bit soft, it can get quite loud with everyone talking—making it a little hard to have a truly private conversation. Additionally, the restroom could use a bit more attention to cleanliness, but overall, we still had a great time!

Gorgeous place and decor was perfect. Food and service was outstanding and the drinks were delish. We ordered mock cocktails and they were perfectly refreshing. We finished every dish and did a happy bath with each bite.

This place is amazing if you love Tequila!!! Unbelievable selections! Our waiter was very helpful and flexible with the Tequila flights. The Softshell Crab taco appetizer and shrimp ceviche was delicious. The Seabass entree was scrumptious. Delicious Cajeta flan!!! Definitely worth trying!
