   Had a business lunch here - the volume was great, service was friendly and fast. Food was delicious - my lunch partner had chicken tostadas and I had queso panela tacos.

   Place was so pretty and service was great. Food had good flavour but it’s quite subtle and I felt like I wanted to taste that richness a lot more from mexican dishes.

   We ordered the Tinga Tostadas, Papas Fritas and the Pork Pibil and really enjoyed all three dishes! All had lots of flavor and the Pork had the perfect level of spice. Would recommend this restaurant for a cute date night and/or drinks with the gals :)

   Very good food and friendly staff. Slightly overpriced, but very good quality of ingredients. Would definitely recommend to others.

   We were lucky to have Rylan as our server last night! He took the time to explain the menu, was incredibly attentive, and made our celebration even more enjoyable. Everything he recommended was fantastic, and our drinks were perfect.

    We made a reservation, arrived 15min early and the restaurant was only about 30% full, we were seated right away, the front staff gentleman was outstanding, friendly, knowledgeable and just a delight. Once seated the waitress came over took our drink order, this is when it all went downhill. My wife and I sat there for about 20 min with no a single person stoping by, no drinks, no waitress, the restaurant started to fill up but it was a manageable crowd. Once my wife finally waved over our waitress, she started to blame her miss management of our table on others, ie it was a large table of 15 people that slammed the bar therefore our drinks were not ready, we mentioned that the restaurant isn’t that full and there are a number of bartenders working, plus multiple wait staff, the restaurant wasn’t slammed. We were like we have been ready to order for 10-15 min and you never stop by to go over features, take appetizer order, we were left to ourselves. Again she blamed the table of 15 people a table she appeared to not even be serving. We have eaten here a number of times and the food is excellent but not sure if we will return. In my opinion take responsibility for your actions and just say hey I forgot about you, don’t make up stories and blame others for your mistakes, to this note we got up and left and went for a fantastic dinner at Caesars.
