    Great location in Fulton Market. Drinks were amazing but pricey Food was average and way overpriced. Three tacos should not cost 25.00! Too dark- we could barely read the menu Tooloud inside- we could barely hear the server and our friends Overall it is an okay experience.

    We arrived about 2:30pm. Ambiance for sure gives Tulum/Cancun. Almost forgot where I was. Brunch was set to end at 3 so we were going to have drinks until the dinner menu started until they told us dinner was pushed back to about 4pm. Drinks were good we had a watermelon mint marg, spicy mango marg and a few others. Barbacoa tacos were ok. They needed a wet sauce to bring it all together. Burger was ok. It was charbroiled but almost had a burnt taste. They don’t allow you to mix and match tacos and they don’t allow you to have any other toppings on them besides the ones that are shown on menu because they said the toppings are already “portioned out.” So that is what reminds you that you are NOT in tulum my friend, you are in Chicago! When you are in tulum they make accommodations as ask “and what else would you like?”

    Such a lovely experience. As soon as you walk in you’re in Awh of the amazing decor. The food will also leave you speechless and my favorite was the tajin rim on my mezcal margarita. 10s across the board can’t wait to be back. I ordered the lobster spaghetti and my sister ordered the pork shank we both wanted to order each others plates to take home lol
