    Fantastic place. I've been there a couple of times (once with a larger group of adults and once with a friend and her kids), and both times everything was fantastic. The food and cocktails are outstanding, as is the service. Recommended: best guacamole I've ever had, and the molcajete (basically hot pot) was an experience. A friend loved the aguachiles. As for cocktails, the mescalitas and Honey and Smoke are big winners. The tequila flights were a good way to try some high end tequilas at a good price. Less recommended: the crickets and ants are a fun novelty, but they're a bit underwhelming. Though they're worth trying, and they add a bit of a different flavour to the guac. Worth trying though, but don't expect a big bowl of them. They're more seasoning than side. The tacos were good, but... well, try the molcajete. Other notes: the manager was extremely nice to my friend's kids and went out of his way to entertain them. Definitely went above and beyond. Incidentally, if you think the prices look high... well, welcome to inflation, but with the quality and portion size, it's worth it. This place is well-reviewed for a reason, and is absolutely worth visiting.
