   Service was terrible waited over an hour to get our food turns out our server named Paulo forgot to put in our orders and when we finally had the courage to ask for an update on the food he looked at us in confusion going through his notepad realizing he had forgot to ring in the orders and said the food would be coming out in the next 5 mins and it didn’t we still waited another 20 mins at this point I just wanted to cancel everything and leave none of the staff apologized or offered a solution they just gave us all dirty looks and food was mid I wouldn’t come back

   From the moment we walked in the door and greeted by Gerardo, I was impressed. From the beautifully displayed Tequila/Mezcals I knew we were in for a real treat. We enjoyed a flight of Mezcal and two amazing Margaritas. Chips and salsa and food was delicious, We look forward to our next visit with friends and family.

   This place is legit! At first I was skeptical because it’s on the edge of old town, but the food here blew away the other places in old town I’ve been to. Authentic dishes! Mole was amazing! The tequila menu is top notch. Will go back for sure.

   Lovely wait staff. Got the pork mole trio. Portion was small and there was quite a bit of fat, which was off putting. The room is cool, with all of the tequila bottles. We also had sea bass. It was good but overly salty. My $16 Margarita was fair. I expected better . Overall, we were underwhelmed and unlikely to return.

   I met a good friend of mine there and it happened to be her favorite restaurant in Okd Town also. I had the salmon and it was amazing. It was cooked to perfection. She had the 3 different ceviche entrée and she also loved it. Our waiter was attentive and explained any questions we had.

    The food was outstanding. We started with the 3 ceviche appetizer and while all 3 of the options were tasty the white fish in green sauce was amazing. For our mains we had the carnitas tacos and arroz al a tumbada. The carnitas were super tender and flavorful. The tumbada was spicy, full of seafood and delicious. The waitstaff was attentive and did an excellent job.
