    We loved this place! It has a chill vibe like you’re on vacation on an island, but the food was fancy and delicious. Definitely would recommend the tuna tataki tostada, amazing. The service was quick without feeling rushed and our server made great recommendations.

    Outstanding food and service. Cuisine is Mexico City style which makes it unique for this area. Casual with an owner who really cares about his customers. Highly recommend!

    The presentation is as great as the flavor. I had the chicken enchiladas with mole. The ceviche as an appetizer, perfect for sharing ( best I’ve ever had) The chorros for dessert is a must. ⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️⭐️

    It’s a cute restaurant but they still have some kinks to work out. The chips are bland. We ordered guacamole and ceviche and it was only ok. We don’t end up ordering more food because we weren’t impressed. The margaritas were good though. I went to the ladies room and there was a dog in there. It barked at me as if I was entering its home. It then proceeded to follow me into the stall, still barking. The owner was in a different stall. Very awkward.
