    Entire experience was amazing. Every course was great. We will become regular customers here. The best part of the night was our waiter TJ. He provided great service and was clearly passionate about his job and the food.

    Overall, lived the food, atmosphere and experience. In the spirit of constructive feedback, drinks took an oddly long amount of time. The restaurant wasn’t overly busy, and there was maybe one bartender and a server tag teaming the drinks. But wasn’t a big deal, just something I noticed. Highly recommend!

    Imagine if you were invited to a close friend’s home on a cold saturday night after a rough week. You are craving some good, non-judgmental conversation, some laughs, a freshly cooked home meal, and to feel fully content in heart, belly, and mind. that’s what this experience was. topped off with a beautiful culinary and cultural tour of the best food from central Mexico. If you appreciate food, this is an experience you cannot ignore.
