    Had to wait quite a while, like an hour for food, which wasn’t super comfortable on the wooden bench but the ambiance was fantastic and music selection fun and hip. I ordered the chicken mole enchiladas and just about died it was the best mole I’ve had in the states! Phenomenal!

    10/10 food can’t complain other than the fact that they used to do complimentary chips but now they don’t??

    We had three tacos. The best was the grilled cod. The short ribs were too salty. The lobster was ok being here on the west coast. We were still hungry after those so had dessert of horchata.

    The food is amazing and the taco Tuesday deal made it all much better. The tacos are worth all the vibrant flavors. Had some long wait times with our waiter that did impose on our dining experience but our experience with the food was a success.
