“My husband and I shared the queso fundido and a birria quesadilla. Everything was fresh and delicious. Cocktails were well made, and the staff were kind and attentive. We will absolutely be back to try the tacos.”
“Excellent tacos!! Gluten-free is clearly marked on the menu. The quesabirrias were amazing! Packed with meat and melty cheese, with a rich consommé. The El Chingon and the Campechano tacos were some of the best I’ve ever had. Fiery salsas served on the side for extra heat. Every taco was loaded with tender, perfectly cooked meat. I took half my meal home for leftovers, because there was so much. Decor is fantastic. Definitely a place for date nights, friends dinner, cocktail at the bar — or take yourself out for lunch (you deserve it!). Highly recommend. Definitely going back soon.”
“Whoa!!! I cannot begin to explain how good the food is here!!! I ordered takeout with my hubby 30 mins ago and with the first bite I was blown away! I ordered the Bone In Short Rib Burrito, the Chicken Calderon Ramen, Elotes, and a Campacheno and BAAAABY!!! The flavor is insane!!! I am so glad I found this place and I will be back again and again!!! I wouldn’t mind gaining a few pounds for this food! Also the staff is so kind and welcoming!!! Get in there!!!”
“I really enjoyed my meal here! We started with the chips and salsas, i really enjoyed trying all of the different kinds. We also got the ceviche which was perfect for summer and delicious. My boyfriend ordered their short rib burrito and wow it is huge! You definitely get your moneys worth, it also was one of the best burritos we've ever had. I got the pork shank and it was amazing! The service was very friendly. I would definitely return.”
“Empanada - Too cheesy. Bread has phenomenal flaking but that’s about it. 5/10 Cinnamon fried calamari - What you expect except the fusion really isn’t that harmonious; would’ve been better without the cinnamon. Crunchy, unique, good breading/octopus. 5/10 Potato churros - Has good crunchy texture but greasy and better without the sauce that comes with it. I feel like it could’ve been improved if they used sweet potato instead. 5/10 Mushroom rigatoni - Noodles are big, mushrooms are flavorful that it masks the fungi umami as the hint of butter coats the tongue. Sauce adds to the dish by carrying the spices into your mouth. 7/10 Spaghetti fra diavolo- A more luxurious take on spaghetti & meatball but its shrimp substitute is a fumble. 6/10 Tagliatelle - The noodles are fun to eat but the meat doesn’t add much and it feels like canned food paired with an exquisite thin, long carbohydrate. 5/10 Orecchiete- Disappointing. The greens make my stomach green with how bitter it is. The meat tastes like it came from a school and the noodles are alright. 3/10 Tropical - I appreciate the metal straw but it lacks the punch of a fresh, fruity drink Service can take some time to wait for so be sure to order right away. Food is excruciating to wait for- appetizers are a must to stave off the boredom”
