Our server Karen was wonderful. Very attentive, informative, and patient. Don’t get me started on the food. The flavors and creativity were beyond sublime. The ambience was a modern aesthetic with a cozy romantic feel. Definitely adding this place to our repertoire. Everything was amazing.
This place was really great, and we will definitely be back. It’s gluten friendly which works perfect for me and our server Karen was very informative, and made the atmosphere even better. We didn’t realize went during happy hour which is all day Thursday, so that added to the experience. The Lengua is a must try! I was not expecting it to be as good as it was. I’ll be back for that dish alone. The 17 Lengua dish honestly outshined the 38 dish we got as well. The appetizer of Elote with bone marrow essentially was different and honestly another must try. Ventura the bartender ended the night for us with some really great flambe Carajillos. Like I said definitely a must try and we will be back
Went with friends to have drinks and appetizers. The environment and decor were great, and the nachos were delicious. Our server was nice and accommodating. It was an enjoyable experience.
We enjoyed our dining experience here. We came at happy hour and took advantage of the discounts. I had their tacos Al Pastor. They did not disappoint.
I liked everything I ordered, that's really difficult in a restaurant, the one who served us was very nice Juan Francisco. I like that this place is open late, I arrived at 10 pm. I had a great time when I went there, they were singing live music. I would definitely go back.
Some of the best paella and sangria my partner and I have ever had. We stopped here on an off chance, and I am really glad that we did. They seem to have a really good happy hour (Wednesday the happy hour is all day). I also recommend coming on Sundays because they have a “buy a paella, get a 10 pitcher”.
Just fantastic. The Sabana is the best I’ve had outside of Mexico City.
10/10 experience!!! Hosted a bridal shower this past weekend and it was literal perfection. The staff was fantastic in making sure we all had drinks and that our food orders were correct. Shoutout to Karla our server, who went above and beyond to make these event run smoothly. Would most definitely host another event here. Also, the event director Keith, was fantastic in helping me plan this event and making the most beautiful menu for this event.
