All the dishes we tried were amazing. Everything exploded with flavor. Our waitress was nice and explained the menu thoroughly. The ambiance was nice during finer perfect for a date or group setting. Definitely one of my favorite places and must go to.

Ordered the salad, duck tamales, and bone marrow. Overall, the flavors were good, but everything leaned a bit too much on the saucy side, even the salad. The octopus bits on the bone marrow were overcooked and too tough to chew. That said, the food presentation was great, the atmosphere was nice, and the service was attentive. A decent experience overall!

Very beautiful restaurant that was overall empty when we went (7pm on a Thursday night). We ordered 2 cold dishes (didn’t get pics) and 3 hot dishes. Flavours were strong but I think some of the dishes could use a bit more texture.

For example, the soft shell crab taco, everything felt to be too soft and might benefit from a small crunchy greenery or extra frying of the tempura part. The bone marrow was served with very crunchy bread but the octopus filling was also fried quite hard. I think it would go better with a soft brioche type bread.

It was definitely a nice restaurant experience with reasonable prices

It was a rainy evening and I was looking for a dinner spot and thankful I came upon this restaurant. The atmosphere is beautiful. The service was excellent. The complimentary tostadas with several sauces was delicious! The server recommended the duck confit tamale and I really enjoyed the filling and cream sauce. I absolutely LOVED the birria beef tacos, the best I've ever tasted. The sauce that came with it was drinkable 🙂. I didn't have room for dessert. The price was really great for the portion and taste. I left extremely full and satisfied. I would definately return for those birria beef tacos.
