   Very cool venue. Very good food, limited but logical menu. A little on the high end of cost I think they could do with about a 20% reduction in cost and they’d be perfect.  We will go back.

   The food was amazing and the service even better. We go often, and it never disappoints. Haven't had a bad thing yet. The service staff seems genuinely happy to be there which is a rare find. 10 out of 10!!

   First visit. Went for happy hour. Nice discount on tapas and tacos. Service was slow for a half full restaurant. Food was okay but portion small. Maybe they make portions smaller during happy hour which then makes it not such a great deal. Really liked the guacamole but not enough chips to eat it.

   Food and cocktails (which are never cloyingly over-sweet as is common in DSM) are consistently well-balanced and excellent in every respect. My lovely dining companion, an amazing cook in her own right, loves it here, and trust me, that is a very high bar. Only demerit in my opinion is the loud Manhattan-esque techno music that makes it hard to hear people. The younger and less curmudgeonly might love that , though. We will go back.

   We enjoyed three different types of tacos, the corn, fundito and rice. For dessert we had chocolate basque cheesecake, coconut flan and churro sundae- all were delicious.

   Great food and great service! Got seated early for 6:30 reservation. Went for our anniversary, and they gave us a great dessert. Churros were excellent.

    Excellent gluten free food with vegan options! I had sweet potato tacos and churros with chips as appetizer :) Everything was delicious and service was fantastic.
