Thank you for accommodating our group of 10 people! We had tables just in front of the DJ which was super fun. It was a good level of busy and the music vibe was on point. Wish more people would get up and dance! But this is a good place for intimate catch up drinks with friends in a lively setting.

Incredible! The service, the food, the music, everything! Probably best tacos I’ve had and genuinely enjoyed my night! Tables are a little low making it a bit awkward to eat but otherwise had a blast. Highly recommend
