    This place was amazing. It was absolutely the most delicious food. The ambience and all of the decor is out of this world. It is worth even just getting a drink at if you aren’t hungry. The Barbacoa tacos, the Birria tacos were to die for.

    What a great find in NO! The staff was super attentive and the atmosphere was fun and energetic. Both our meals had a fun aspect (mine had tacos on a little clothesline & hers was cauliflower served smoked under a cover) and the margaritas were awesome. The table next to us did the “shots” experience which was also fun to watch.

    Food and drink were excellent along with our server! Only issue was security guard wasn’t very friendly trying to tell us they were closed for a private event at 8 even though we had reservations at 6. Never apologized, just rude for no reason.

    The food was cold, not good and nothing came out at same time. Waited over 30 mins for a margarita. My son’s food was cold and gross. Way over priced and over rated.
