The food and service was amazing. My boyfriend and I shared chicken pozole and I felt right at home, the serving was a good amount that we were both full. The lady that was assisting us was very helpful and kind, she offered us a taster of their agua frescas. The jamaica was perfect, not too sweet, not too watered down, perfect! I am pregnant ATM but ive been dying to try their ceviche and I will be back for it! Their mocktail was also a 10/10. The ambiance was very nostalgic and it was very clean and very beautiful. 10/10 in every area.

Terrible, terrible service. I went back a second time, but nope, the last thing this place cares about is how its customers are treated and cared for. What's more, on our second visit the place was nearly empty (surprise) and yet it took an incredible amount of time for our server to give us menus, take our orders, and bring our food.The food itself is nothing special. There's some tasty meats, for sure, but it really is a very standard and uninspired menu and there's no frills attached. If they offer chips and salsa or other such niceties, they certainly did not offer them to us.Giving up and not going back. A shame.

Went to this place on a Friday evening with friends. Not so much crowded. Music was great, ambience is very intriguing and colorful ! Food: Selection of veg and non veg tacos: Shrimp taco, veggie taco were average and the remaining were good. I ordered a burrito bowl, it was good. Food was good, the best thing about the food was unlike other mexican places, they haven't added unnecessary cheese to just enhance the taste. That's why the food here was filling and nice. Cauliflower starter was really good with the house made sauce which was the best Drinks: The drinks were the best, everything was on point and amazing. Overall, a good place, you wouldn't be disappointed.

I have to say, I was just passing through but I stopped to have a margarita and chips and salsa. These chips were fresh and hot, right amount of salt. The pico de gallo was perfection! This patron margarita was absolutely delicious! This is a cool, hip bar, I can tell the neighborhood is very cool. My bartender was awesome. Efficient and did a great margarita! You can get margaritas to go! What? Awesome! Can't wait to visit again!

Super tasty and unique bites. Definitely going to spend 20-30$ a person but a lot of unique eats. My dad and I ordered the sopecitas. They have a nice thick blue corn base. Lots of vegetarian options. The servers were super nice and I loved all the succulents and cacti inside!

The service was horrible! We were seated and immediately ordered our drinks. After browsing the menu, we placed our order for food. Our food came before our drinks, which people who came in after us received their drinks before we did (I wasn't given a straw like everyone else); we were almost done with our food when we had received our drinks. And the taco I had ordered came after our drinks. The server never asked us how the food was or if anything else was needed. The place was designed cute but it was extremely hot inside (way cooler outside than inside the restaurant). The food was okay, but we definitely won't be going back.

When your craving some PR food and your just to lazy to cook or mom is not cooking today.....this was the place to go. Not everything taste like your moms cooking because you know no one never cooks at good as mom or grandma... but it'll hold you over till you get home cooked meals again. Whoever is the cook there now is losing their touch with the flavors this last time everything was bland not like when they first opened where everything had "SABOR"!So either 1 too many cooks or they starting to cater to gringo's where nothing has enough seasonings to make it taste good.

Good food, good vibes, and strong drinks! Came on a random weekday to hang out with a friend and I'm so happy we came here. I got a margarita and the tosada. Both were great and it was well priced for the food I got. The servicer and staff were super nice and attentive throughout the night. The restaurant was pretty quiet, which was nice for catching up. Lovely spot and will be coming back.
