"Tables next to us were greeted with an ask of still water or sparkling. We were greeted immediately with tap water. Service was unusual, rude and just plain awful. We were ordering quite a lot for two persons only to be treated as we were ordering nothing. We kept a menu to keep ordering but decided to cut it off when we realized how differently we were being treated. It was awfully unusual as we were dressed normal and had no issues with the server. We just could tell she did not think we had money. Very much so a shame and it was just downright unusual. Insulting. We were there only 45 minutes with a 220+ check for 2. Will take our money elsewhere."

"Beautiful atmosphere. It’s a shame the food and service didn’t match up. It took way too long for the server to take our drink order considering we were the only table. She continued to be lackluster. The shiitake mushroom crepe, flautas and arancini were overcooked. The highlights of the meal were the shrimp pupusa and Mexican street corn. Both delicious."

"Fantastic tasting experience! Yummy mezcal gimlet to start. Loved all of the food, generous portions. Really sweet, helpful waitress. Didn't feel rushed and was able to enjoy the perfectly decorated space. The warm relationship between the cooks in the open cooking area was so nice to see:) Will definitely be back!"

"Awesome. Excellent margaritas. Ceviche was great. Both chicken and beef main dishes were wonderful and perfectly cooked. Bartenders Joey and Mo did a great job and were very friendly. Well stocked bar. Cool vibe. Looking forward to our next visit."

"This was an A++ experience. The staff were so kind and the food was superb! We didn't realize we had stayed past closing but they didn't fret. We felt terrible but regardless, the ambience, flavors, and overall aura of excellence was truly memorable!! Our waitress was a gem and so kind to us. Plus she had really stylish rings. The halibut dish was PERFECTION."
