    Upon our arrival, our group of five was initially assigned a table of limited size. However, after a brief period, the hostess was able to locate a more suitable table for us. The culinary experience was exceptional. We sampled the octopus tostadas and shrimp tacos. Additionally, the oyster and mezcal shots were noteworthy. The atmosphere was highly festive, complemented by pleasant music throughout the venue. Fidel provided exceptional guidance in navigating the extensive menu and delivered outstanding service.

    Food was amazing! Great choices on salsas. Our waiter Pedro was very attentive and gave us great insight on the menu and drink options. I highly recommend this restaurant. The ambience and atmosphere was just right for our celebration.
