Food was good. Service was inattentive - cocktail menu arrived 15 min after we were seated; drinks ordered arrived 20 min. apart; multiple attempts to flag a server; etc. A cocktail I had there about 5 times in the past arrived diluted and warm (for $17).

Cocktails were just okay. Very expensive for what they are. The mocktail was terrible and not worth the money

The service and ambiance were really good. We loved our cocktails, however, the tacos were not very good. The birria tacos had very little flavor, and you have to pay to get the consome to go with the tacos. That was a little strange. I wanted to love the cochinita tacos, but they were so dry, I could barely swallow them. I gave mine to my husband. Salsas were excellent though. There are so many other great taco places in the bay area, so I don't think we'll be back.
