The food was absolutely amazing I had the guacamole served in the traditional Molcajete!! It was absolutely delicious. I also had the Birria tacos and they were absolutely filling and worth the price, they were filled with so much meat and cheesy goodness, and let me tell you the Consomé was so flavourful 💯. And the “jungle side “ that I reserved was very colourful and just very vibrant to look at , Such a fun vibe !!! Great customer service ! Overall I would definitely come back and try the flautas which is next on my list !

The price you pay is not reflective of the quality you receive. The food is subpar, the cocktails are diluted, and the dishes lack genuine Mexican flavor. I have no intention of returning or recommending this place to anyone.

Honestly wasn’t impressed in any capacity. If this would be someone’s first introduction to Mexican food, they’d think it was somewhere between extremely mediocre and below average.

Food: pretty authentic and very fresh. Small portions for the price. Flan dessert was scrambled. Service: probably the worst part of the night although everyone was very friendly. Our food came separately (one entree arrived a good 5 minutes before the other). Had multiple different servers leading them to ask if we wanted more drinks right after someone had already taken our order. Ambience: fun

Enjoyed it a lot, a lively place after 9:30. Highly recommend: octopus taco, fajitas (mixed, with steak, shrimp, chicken), shrimp ceviche, bone marrow appetizer. We will be visiting again for sure.

While waiting for our food (15 min had passed), we were told there is a dinner reservation for our table at 9. After 15 min still no food so I sought the waitress and mentioned that if she wanted us to leave by 9, we would need to eat first. I think it was the owner who came over to apologize. Another 15 minutes passed. I got served first. 10 min passed. Then the rest of the food came. My friend's daughter asked for no onions. It came with onions. They then brought it back, arranged differently but with more onions. No further apology, no discount offered, or guacamole, or Paloma shot (my husband and I went once several months ago - great food and service - and a surprise of a Paloma shot), or dessert. Disappointing.
