I have literally been around the world 3 times and this is the absolute BEST Mexican restaurant to dine in! The service was amazing...there was no problem getting a table...and the food was fantastic. The guacamole and pomegranate was a combination, of which I was unprepared, but now look forward to! Maz Mezcal you are my new 'go to'...THANK YOU!

The food was excellent. I had the salmon tacos, one of the chef's specials. I also had one of the specialty drinks for the month. Our server was very nice and came frequently to our table to ask if we needed anything. We were the last table to leave and they didn't rush us.
