   Upmarket Mexican with interesting flavours meant for sharing, limited menu but everything tasted great.

   The food was amazing! But the overall service was appalling. We waited like 25 mins for our drinks and seen the beers just sitting at the bar, to the point where the beer didn't have a head. The food took like over an hour to come out and it all came out at different times. It was a birthday celebration and overall quite disappointed.

   Really delicious food, beautifully presented. The staff were very friendly and knowledgeable about the history of the dishes. We had a great time and would go back. Perfect for a special occasion.

   We dined on a busy week night. The place was busy but not full. The staff were friendly and welcoming when we first arrived. The food was delicious yet they must be short staffed on the night as the service was chaotic and slow. First order of drinks took ages and the rest of the night did not get better. The staff seems overwhelmed and often it was difficult to get their attention for another round of drinks. Twice we had to chase our drink orders and wrong food arrived on our table. We really like the food but it was a frustrating night with the poor service.

   Authentic Mexican cuisine with excellent service! The banquet was ordered and came with many delicious and well presented dishes. The dishes are fresh, flavorful, and bursting with spice, especially the tacos, elotes and mains (chicken was fantastic). The timing was just right and the handcrafted cocktails and festive atmosphere were a bonus. The staff is friendly and attentive, making for a great dining experience. We will definitely be back. Highly recommend!

   the food and the cocktails are amazing the service is also really good - the only thing we realise is they took so long to bring our drinks to the table, however, all the experience was 12/10. we looking forward to go back

   Food was delicious but the service or rather lack thereof was really disappointing. A lot of miscommunication and the food too far too long to come out, as well as not in order making the meal less enjoyable. Poor effort given it was relatively quiet on a Monday night. Very slow on service. We were not informed of Happy Hour despite arriving before 6pm and had to speak to the manager to get it honoured.

   Such as beautiful experience! I celebrated my bday there and it was much more better than I expected. I really love the cocktails and agua de Horchata. The meals and snacks were so good. it was a explosion of flavors, and real mexican taste. The service was extraordinary and welcoming, they really make you feel like in mexico. Highly recommended!

    The food is spectacular. Nice to come across a Mexican restaurant that deviates from the formulaic menu options. The staff were great as well.
