We had a party of four on a Thursday night and the restaurant was mostly empty except for a large birthday party in a semi private area. Our server Carla was very attentive with checking up on us occasionally to see if we needed anything. She was also attentive in refilling the water glasses. The taste and temperature of the food was excellent. We were quite full after our main meal and kindly declined dessert. Overall it was a great experience and dinner.

We walked by the restaurant twice without realizing it was the restaurant. When you walk inside, it’s very difficult to see and many people were using their phones to read the menu. The food is excellent, a tad rushed, but it would be nice if one could see it.

The food was absolutely amazing, the carne asada was literal perfection and so were the ropa vieja plantains, the cochinita pibil and the ceviche. They were able to accommodate our large party of 10 on short notice and the service was wonderful- thank you Chris!!!
