    The service from Sasha was excellent and appreciated! The guacamole is outstanding. We also loved the unique flavor in the Oaxacan Mole dish and chicken enchiladas. We were lucky to get one of the fireplace tables as well. We will be back!

    It can get busy, best way to make sure you get a table is to make a reservation. Ordered a few things to try, Lomo Saltado, Macho, Beet Salad and a Ceviche Mixto. The ceviche was great probably a tad bit more salt and it would've been perfect Beet salad... Beets.. The Lomo was a tad salty for me but the meat was very tender and a good size portion of food. Macho was my favorite a good variety of seafood and lots of flavor.
