The ambiance of the restaurant was delightful, with dim lighting that created an intimate dining experience. However, the food did not quite match the atmosphere. We started with the Hamachi ceviche and grilled octopus. Unfortunately, the ceviche was underseasoned, and the octopus was a bit tough. As a fan of grilled octopus, I found this preparation to be my least favorite. For our main course, we shared the pescado entero, which was quite flavorful. Our server had mentioned it was deboned, but I found that every bite still contained bones, which was a bit disappointing. We tried two cocktails: the Coco de Oro and the Pulparido. The Coco de Oro was just okay; I overlooked that it contained mezcal, which I’m not particularly fond of, and I felt the coconut flavor was barely noticeable. On the other hand, the Pulparido was definitely our favorite—fruity with a hint of spice, it was absolutely delicious. Overall, while the atmosphere was inviting, the food and drinks left something to be desired.

To begin with the GM is the nicest I’ve ever encountered. He was personable and helped other staff members. He was never not working. Our server was also wonderful and very knowledgeable about the menu. As for the food, wow. It’s my new favorite brunch spot. Everything is so unique. That French toast was the best I’ve ever had. The breakfast burrito is in my top three. The poblano gordita was delicious and the empanadas were spectacular. Also, the espresso martini was 10/10. My only notes would be to maybe add a breakfast potato or some fries to the burrito and have a little less citrus in the cucumber marg.

The staff was extremely attentive, welcoming and friendly. The vibe of the place was warm and chic. The food was great and they had a lot of shareable table options. Their hamachi ceviche was fresh, delicate with perfect acidity. The presentation of their guacamole with homemade blue corn tortilla hand-sized chips was so nice! We were there on a Friday night when they had a DJ. He played all the current and classic latino/pop artists and it made for a fun vibe. We will definitely return with our friends.
