    Great place. Went on Valentine’s Day for dinner and it was decorated and great for couples and families. The tamale dish was outstanding. The ceviche was delicious and the whole dish was great too. There wasn’t anything we ordered that wasn’t good. Looking forward to going back next time I’m in Houston.

    Very nice restaurant with easy parking. Food interesting and reasonably priced for an inner-city restaurant. Service was good. Only issue was that there were a couple tables with loud people who probably had enough to drink. The background noise was significant.

    The hostess greeted us warmly & promptly seated us at the table of our choice. Ambiance is warm, welcoming, with many areas of the restaurant that can accommodate privacy or larger groups. Our server team was amazing, very attentive & knowledgeable. The food was amazing, served in a perfect timing & temperature. Flavors were bursting with the freshness of ingredients & ingeniously crafted to blend together. I would definitely recommend this place for a quiet date night or an evening with a larger group of family & friends.
