    Very cute entrance to the restaurant; great music played by the DJ (also the volume was low enough for you to enjoy the music while still being able to hear your date talk); the crispy plantains appetizer and sushi rolls were 5 star (so delicious); the drinks are super cute; the only con is that the tables are so tiny and close together. You can barely fit two sushi rolls on your table without fear of knocking something over—the waiters also struggle getting in between the tables with ease. Had a great time and will be back!

    The food at Tahona was some of the best I’ve had. Very carefully prepared, creative without being pretentious. Lots of authentic flavors, definitely not your typical Mexican food. They explain about the sourcing of the ingredients, and it was just an awesome experience. (The Pozole was the “hidden gem”, very different from anything I’ve ever had, and it was fantastic.)

    I feel adding more breakfast items to your Sunday brunch would help boost business. Only offering one breakfast item doesn’t make much sense to me.
