Reviews
"We were group of 4, 3 of us ordered chilaquiles and they were room temperature, not even warm/hot. Overall the food was not the greatest but were good for a quick meal. I will come back and try something else."
"I have high hopes for this restaurant. The food is very promising. The pricing is perfect for the quality and quantity of food you receive . The service was fantastic. The only issue I have is with a few of the tables. One was broken and sure gave me a scare and the other was too tight of a fit for anyone with legs . For this I'll give it a 3 but this easy could be a 5 star place with a bit more work . The food took a bit too long to come out."
"My experience here was good. The food is good and fairly priced. The atmosphere was nice. I was surprised with the presentation of the food, nice tableware, good portions we’ll served and decorated with beautiful details (way better than any other restaurant in the area). The server was kind and attentive. Keep up the good work."
"We had Pipián and Pechuga rellena. Loved the food! Very upscale homemade Mexican food!! You must try the crème brûlée, it’s amazing! They also has lived music! Our waitresses, Adriana & Jenny, were great. Perfect place for a date or with family!"
"Food had very good presentation but very bad flavor. A lot of work and money has gone into the atmosphere. If you want to go somewhere with a genuine Mexican feeling, this is the place. However, if you're looking for traditional Mexican food, don't expect this to be the place. It seems to be very focused on a specific Spanish niche. Not the typical and expected experience. It's also rather expensive. But you need to help them pay for the atmosphere, which may be well worth it for most of the target audience. As I paid I saw a service fee of $2. This is an added tax, by the establishment, for using my credit card. This is 2023 - most people use a CC. This practice is, in my experience, mainly a Hispanic practice which should not be practiced. It is a punishment for using their service. I did talk to the owner to express my opinion and she was very kind and very receptive and extremely sweet. Her response turned a n over all 2 star experience into a 4 star experience. SIX DOLLAR SMOOTHIE!!!???????"
