We walked by the restaurant twice without realizing it was the restaurant. When you walk inside, it’s very difficult to see and many people were using their phones to read the menu. The food is excellent, a tad rushed, but it would be nice if one could see it.

We live in the neighborhood but we dined here after 2-4 years, came in with friends. The vibe & service were great. We opted for Piononos (which we all loved), Empanadas, Mole Y Leon, Pulpo, Shrimp Chicharron + Lomo Boliviano. I preferred Oaxaca Old Fashioned > After Me. Re: desserts, we concurred Pastel De Elote was better than Chocolate Tres Leches.

The food was absolutely amazing, the carne asada was literal perfection and so were the ropa vieja plantains, the cochinita pibil and the ceviche. They were able to accommodate our large party of 10 on short notice and the service was wonderful- thank you Chris!!!
