We had a great interaction with the manager, Cristian. He was attentive and made sure our drinks were always full. Great food, great prices, and great atmosphere!

Service can be a little slow, and sometimes confused, but they make up for that in spirit, so it's great. Don't forget to carry your IDs if you look anything under 40, and intend to drink alcohol. Food is absolutely fantastic based on your tastes. Someone with a penchant for zingier, zestier food might enjoy the cuisine more than someone used to eating milder flavored/less seasoned foods. Atmosphere always feels like there's a party going on. Great place for lunch because their afternoon bar has some attractive deals. I personally loved the place and keep going whenever I get a chance. It's decently priced(though slightly expensive) for students with a part time job. Make sure to split the bill if you take a date. This place is worth considering if you are looking for a fine dine restaurant that should fit your budget with a little overextension (while also filling your tummy).

This was our first time here and very much enjoyed ourselves. The bartender was very friendly and knowledgeable, and seemed to enjoy sharing his knowledge of tequilas and the difference between what they had to offer. The "Spicy Margarita" was an absolute treat made with their in house tequila soaked in habanero peppers. We also enjoyed partaking in a flight of 4 different tequilas alongside 3 of their street tacos. Is you are fan at all of tequila then you should definitely give this place a chance.
