    Kimmy was the best! I had friends coming from out of town and she was super patient in helping them choose what to eat with specific dietary restrictions they had. She also was attentive and friendly! Food was delicious and would definitely come again.

    The food is really really good in a sea of mediocre Mexican food out there. The menu is limited, but the choices are good and sufficient. This is a small and tightly packed restaurant/bar, and therefore noisy, but in a friendly and festive way. The servers were courteous and attentive and food was delivered to the table quickly. Drinks very good. A nice find!
