Was our first visit. Wonderful menu options. Food was delicious (be sure to try the Sayulita sauce!). Service was excellent. Our server, Rosie, took good care of us with suggestions and a charming personality. I think we’ve found our new favorite Mexican restaurant!

We ordered the honey ricotta and Brussels sprouts for sharing. The honey ricotta was exceptional. The Brussels sprouts were very good but different with the gongozal rather than balsamic like most places. The pizzas were awesome as well. We all ordered wine flights which was fun as well as delicious. Our server was great amd really worked well with our group. I highly recommend this place especially if you are looking for something a little bit different. Ours was a girls night out with myself and my daughters.
