I love this place! I come for almost every restaurant week (for some reason I’ve never come on a non-restaurant week day, but I totally would)! The carne asada is consistently amazing. They also have the best guacamole in the city. The duck appetizer might be the reason I usually come for restaurant week; I can’t remember if it’s on the regular menu. But if it is, I’ll be back soon!

These guys do a great bottomless brunch, it goes for 1.5hrs and is around $35 - and well worth it. I've been here twice - once for bottomless brunch and the other time just for a brunch meal - and both times the meals were a really good size! If you're drinking, treat yourself to the Frozen Hibiscus Rosalita, it's great. IG: @easty_eats

*Brunch Review* $36 bottomless brunch or $16 for an entree a la carte and $7 drinks. Not that many options. They only really had the banana pancake style brioche for true brunch food and the rest were normal Mexican entrees, so probably better for lunch than brunch. The drinks looked good but it was a little early for cocktails. Overall, great atmosphere, nice staff, fun spot, and beautiful food presentation, but I thought it looked better than it tasted. I didn’t love my meal (the Pan Frances) especially for the price, but my friends liked theirs and we still had a good time. I probably wouldn’t go back for brunch, but maybe for happy hour or dinner.

Good location for bottomless brunch on the weekend. Endless refills including margaritas!! Guacamole and chips were delicious- you see them freshly grind up the avocados near the bar.

A buzzing spot with a busy, intimate vibe. Good for friends & couples! I ordered La Piñata for drinks & it was excellent! The tacos were kinda salty though and sit heavy on the stomach. It’s also relatively easy to get seats on Friday/Saturday without reservation, which is definitely a bonus.

They have an two page menu for vegetarian food. Two whole page! My mind was blown. I set a new record for the longest time I've ever spent deciding what I want. The huge guacamole and chips comes freshly prepared with small soft tortillas along with the chips and salsa and is a must try. It's high on lime and flavor though their spicy option didn't stand up to its name. Their red enchilada sauce was the freshest I've ever tasted. The chiles relleno uses the same sauce and was good too. Wouldn't recommend the corn dish on the side. It was surprisingly easy to get a dinner reservation for 9pm on Saturday by calling 30 minutes in advance. It's a bit on the expensive side and the entrées aren't great enough to justify the price. Would come back for guacamole or to try their bottomless brunch. The service was quick but we felt like they were in a hurry to have us finish. But nothing you wouldn't expect on a Saturday night from most popular restaurants.

Went on a bustling Friday evening around the prime time without a reservation and did not wait long for a table (however would suggest making a reservation). The hostess was very kind and eager to get us seated. The atmosphere was great, light enough to read the menu but also dark enough to create an intimate setting. We ordered the guacamole (which we saw at many tables) and tacos and chicken. Portion size was appropriate for its price and the taste was delicious. Service was also much above par and attentive to dietary restrictions. Would recommend!!

The chef does amazing work! The food is always consistently impeccable! Since I started first had a bite I knew this was going to be my new favorite place! Would always go back for the food! The service isn't terrible or the worst however I believe it can be elevated and be a bit better. Definitely worth the price!

Had a Friday night reservation for a group of 4 plus a toddler and they accommodated us very well. I only had the chips and guac which were delicious but the other people in my group had different kinds of tacos which they said were very good. I tried the beef taco and wasn't a fan, the meat was gamy and a bit cold. The drinks are DELICIOUS and strong! The service was attentive and consistent.

This is arguably my favorite restaurant in the city. I love their happy hour specials. The guacamole is fresh and made to order. They also serve bomb margaritas. I’m a sucker for their hibiscus margs. There is always a great energy here and I enjoy the music they play.

Very nice brunch atmosphere. The food is really delicious, just the right amount for that time of the day. The frozen Hibiscus Rosalita Margarita is tasty and potent. Reservation during brunch is recommended. Going back for dinner.........

Food is fabulous. The flavors are special. I tried to get staff to lower music and respectfully ask other diners to stop shouting and screaming. Staff said it was up to me to ask others not to shout and the music volume is set by management. Brunch was the worst. A shouting match with loud music in a small room. I could not hear my companion at all. I dined there 4 times. Such a pity the atmosphere spoilt my enjoyment if the food.

Excellent food and service. They sat us right away without reservations. The service was great and attentive. Nice ambiance and bar with TVs. Also, probably the BEST chicken tortilla soup I've ever had. Excellent enchiladas too. A bit pricey, but worth it imo
