Excellent food and atmosphere! Truly a gem compared to the other touristy restaurants along the Riverwalk. My only suggestion would be to make more tres leches. They were completely out by 7:30pm.😕 Other than that, delicious!!!😋

A very unusual menu. We ordered a bottle of wine which never arrived. Our waiter never did follow up. We asked other staff for assistance. Food arrived almost immediately except for oe dish. which took quite some time. Not the best experience. Very loud. Would not return.

Had a really great experience sitting at the bar last night with Michelle taking care of us! My only gripe/suggestion would be that the bathrooms probably need a little more regular attention. They seem to be shared with the tiki bar below and the two I used were out of toilet paper and paper towel. Easy fix.
