    Man, such deep flavors! We had the ceviche - so unique with a coconut cream base topped with cilantro and chile oils, the Tamal Oaxaqueno, the Hoja de Santo wrapped queso, and the pork belly. Everything was prepared excellently and each sauce and flavor palette interesting, complex and delightful! The fresh Tamal and tortillas were light and delicious!! Also, our server, Sara, was fun, attentive and informative. Can’t wait to go back and try more dishes, as they are all unique and beg to be tasted!

    Food was great, drinks good, server great without being smarmy. My friends really liked it, too, but got super noisy and really hard to converse or even hear the server.

    We went to the Gingerbread House Decorating party. So. Much. Fun. Everyone got a gingerbread house kit, a delicious birria arepa, and a cocktail or mocktail. There was also a DJ playing holiday music. We had a great time building our houses, which came out cute, and really appreciated not having to clean up our icing mess! This is a fun activity I would recommend to friends or families. We were two generations of adults, but there were a few kids there. Most were 20 and 30-something’s. Oh, we also ordered guacamole and queso that were yummy!
