   A really superb chef who brings in the diverse and delicious flavors of Latin America. Creative bar menu with unusual and interesting mixed drinks. The menu is diverse and encompasses a mutlitude of different meats and sauces with excellent side dishes that really make the meals memorable. The service was super attentive and able to answer all of the questions about the interesting food choices. This restaurant would be extremel;y successful in any of the large population centers and we are fortunate to have it in Bakersfield. They are not shy about pricing their food and drink (drinks food and tip around $100 per head) This is at the very top of the local market. Still, for a special occasion, it is nice to know we have the option for a great evenning out. Keep up the good work.

    The food and drinks were delicious. I especially liked the tropical ceviche, octopus and passion fruit margarita, although I wish I had gotten it with mezcal, but our server had suggested tequila before I realized that it normally comes with mezcal. It was too dark for me to read the cocktail descriptions until I got out my phone lights (more about this later). Service was pretty good, but it could have been a bit more attentive because I couldn’t initially find our server to place another order for drinks and food after our first order, which was just appetizers. We were eventually able to get his attention. But our main issue with the restaurant was the darkness. We couldn’t read our menu without using our iPhone lights, and we could only see dim silhouettes of our food, which was a shame because the platings might have been nice if could see them. I also had to spit out a fatty piece of meat from our ribeye aguachile that I could have easily cut off if I could see it. I understand that the restaurant might be going for a specific atmosphere, but it shouldn’t be that dark. Other areas, including the lounge, were brighter, and I wish we our table had been there.
