    Hidden gem! Cool vibe and great ambiance. The drinks were great and the food was delicious. Not all the pretentious fake people you see at other Mexican "cuisine" restaurants. Really enjoyed it! Definitely going back!

    There were not many people there so we had great, attentive service. The margaritas were excellent and well done. The food was very good, everybody in our party was happy. The service was everything we could’ve asked for. It was very empty at that time so I’m sure that helped.
