    Food and service are always above the bar. Just when you think oh it’s the typical plate the flavor knocks you out of your chair! The way Chef combines the food items with sauces and sides is a true Art. Thank you again and again.

    We had that most disappointing of restaurant experiences, in a place which was recommended by Michelin (but not starred), justifiably, we had delicious and perfectly crafted Mexican food and spotty, almost rude service: feeling rushed to order, hurried to eat, to leave, unfinished plates being carted away without asking us if we were done, no refills of water, etc. What does it matter? if you pack the place every night with full tables that are cleared in an hour for more folks, I suppose it makes sense... too bad. Wonderful taste, sour aftertaste.

    The salsas were the best I’ve ever eaten and the chips were crisp and flavorful. My shrimp tacos were loaded!
