What customers say?

“ Some of the reviews mentioned that the service was pretty bad, however, when we went it was great. Our server was really nice and checked on us several times, explained the most popular items along with his favorite items for drinks and food. We did end up going with two of his suggestions which was our first cocktail which was the Serpiente 'The Snake" and the Tapa Relleno Lightly Fried. I also ordered the Fajitas for one and got chicken and at the end another classic cocktail 'The Moose'. The Relleno Lightly Fried was good, we were warned that the goat cheese could be a bit strong but decided to order anyway. My friend was not able to eat it fully, but I was able to help out with that. Over all it was a good experience and since we went on Cinco De Mayo they were handing out free tequila shots so we got one each of those. I would come back again, and try something different. ”

“ Definitely 4.5 stars!!!! Awesome first time experience. Food, great. Staff, great. Location, great. The four of us shared two tapas - we each had a main course - and we shared two desserts. We ate everything. You have to try the cornbread. I can't say it's overly innovative or inspired - but it's darn tasty - and a great start to some cool options. Can't wait to go back. ”

“ Really enjoyed this place! I'm a big fan of tequila and mezcal and they had wonderful craft cocktails featuring both! I loved the high-end Mexican entrees, as well as the live music playing out front on this Friday evening. The place was packed and they have multiple seating options outside as well as some airy ones inside. our server was patient with all of my drink questions, and happily had them remake one when it was made incorrectly. Service was great, and the ambiance was fun! I will definitely be back! ”
