   I loved the food, the decorations, the staff was super friendly, food was a bit of a wait because they are very busy. However, wait time is definitely made up by the amazing service of the people who work there. They care about your event, they ask what you’re celebrating and they make it fun and unique. Don’t be afraid to ask for drinks that are not necessarily on the menu! Loved it! Will be coming back soon!

   Great food and atmosphere, however a little pricy for what it is. I had the mole wings and Waygu burger!

   Disappointed Doesn’t Even Cover It. We were seated early—which was the highlight of the night. Unfortunately, it went downhill fast. When we asked if the kids’ burrito could be made with black beans instead of pinto, the waiter flat-out said no—even though black beans were clearly listed on the menu. What the actual hell? When my wife said we needed a minute to look over the menu, he took that as a cue to disappear for twenty. We never got our drinks. To make matters worse, they sat us directly under blaring EDM speakers. Not only was the music objectively terrible, but putting young kids right under pounding speakers? Come on. When I finally went to ask the waiter what was going on, he gave a weak apology and basically told us we could “just go.” So we did. The fresh guacamole and honey butter tortillas were the only bright spot—two stars for that and that alone. But everything else left a bad taste in our mouths. We were really looking forward to this spot, and we walked away annoyed, hungry, and totally disappointed.

   We came here for birthday dinner and the service was really good. The elote from the appetizers is so delicious. I had the California burrito and it was loaded with flavor. The drinks were strong too and tasty. Only complaint is that we reserved a month in advance but we had to sit outside because they had just seated people inside.

   Server was fantastic. Food and drinks were okay. This place has a lot of potential, I was surprised it was so empty on a Sunday afternoon. Pricey (in my opinion) for what you get. I’ll give it another try.

    Cool vibe, great for younger people who like the loud music in background . Most seats are outside so be sure to wear /bring jacket. Food selections /flavors were excellent . Was for my daughters 18th Birthday celebration with her friends so it was a perfect venue!
