    Super disappointed in our visit this time around. I made reservations weeks in advance. The host sat us at the bar - near the door - and on the corner (not even next to each other). There were 6 available bar seats further away from the door. We asked if we could move and he said no - that those seats were for other reservations. It was freezing cold - the door was not always being shut as guests entered or exited. Guests would mingle behind us and talked loudly as they waited for their tables. We felt cramped and cold. The host ended up seating other guests of 2 in the better seats within 15-20 minutes of our reservation time so it wasn’t like those seats were being saved for a larger group. No one checked on how our meal was nor asked if we wanted more drinks. So we left within an hour because it was not an enjoyable experience.

    Everything here is consistently good, and a must try for locals. Great service, casual & chic ambiance, delicious food, and attractive staff. Highly recommend the Carne Asada large plate. Make sure to always sample their featured desserts.

    The carne asada is out of this world - the best dish in all of Cincinnati. Don’t skip the guacamole either.

    We had Daniel as a server for dinner last night! He was incredible. He was attentive & always making sure we were okay! The food was equally amazing. We can’t wait to go back!

    Very small menu. The restaurants smelt burnt walking in and we left with our clothes smelling like burnt food. Food was very fancy Mexican and over priced. I think I’ll just stick with my local Cancun or mi Cozumel
