    Not as expected whatsoever. Apparently they don’t allow you to order like they show on their online videos. The service seemed rush and I had to keep asking for things such as napkins and utensils. Part of our order was unacceptably late. Tacos came out cold and I was almost done when the escabeche came out. We will not be coming again.

    Had we ordered nothing but chicken tinga tacos than we would’ve given it an outstanding rating. Tinga tacos were extremely tasty all other tacos, soup, empanadas, guacamole, and corn lacked personality just like the server

    It was our first time going and it was my birthday. The staff was nice and the place was beautiful! We got our picture taken and got to take home a souvenir. I got the danza de hongos and it was so delicious. I had never tasted a corn tortilla that tasted so good. Definitely recommend. My daughter got the ceviche and although it was good, it wasn’t a big serving. My dad got the mini tacos and enjoyed them. We will definitely go again when we visit.

    The atmosphere is great! The servers were kind; however, inattentive. The menus were filthy and covered in old food. Drinks were terrible. The guacamole was amazing. All other food quite mediocre. Typical Riverwalk tourist trap.
