    Girls night dinner here and it was an absolute hit! From the moment we walked in we were greeted with smiles and led to a really cute table. Lots of aesthetics for photo ops. But the food….omg 10/10!! Everything was wonderful. I also love how big birthday’s ate celebrated. The staff really gets into it. You won’t regret coming here!

    The food was amazing. It was a very enjoyable experience. The waitstaff was super friendly and accommodating, and quick in their feet. Huge shout out to Araceli, she went above and beyond to make sure everything was to high expectations, she made our birthday celebration to be the best experience, from personalized menus, to having great recommendations. They have a great atmosphere going on.

    Not worth the hype. We made reservations to celebrate our first wedding anniversary. Saw plenty of tik toks about the place so we were excited. We got sat down 15mins past our reservation time. If we had not shown up, they would have charged $20 per person. Our server didn’t come to the table until we called someone for attention. We ordered drinks and appetizer and dinner. Husband got the dos cuidados and I got the camarones calavera, both were brought to the table cold. We were going to order the calavera dessert but decided not to. Place is good for the music and drinks. They make a big show for pricey drinks. The table next to us ordered around the same time as us and their food was not brought to their table at the time we left. Parking is also $10, guess that’s the best thing. Do not recommend. Only for pictures.

    Beginning with our service as instructed by OpenTable Reservation to call if you are running late and I did. No answer strike one. Get in the lobby couldn’t get access due to guys in front. Then watch as three large groups and two separate couples seated before us. They were sat first. Every time we asked for our reservation we were told we were next. After waiting 30 min we then are taken upstairs. 5 open tables when we do get upstairs. I ordered ceviche and received 85% onions inside it. This came nothing like the photos on there IG post. Plain just horrible. Oysters 🦪 didn’t come with condiments. One slice of lime and miniature Tabasco sauce didn’t make it past one oyster. Asked for a manager several times and never came. I asked for the manager from the moment we realized we weren’t being seated with reservation. Our waitress was amazing which made the experience a bit better. Grilled Skirt steak came over cooked. Requested medium and came back completely charred. Our waitress again apologized for all the mishaps. Other than that I wouldn’t come back to eat.
