Let's start with the Ambiance. It was so welcoming and vibrant. The dim intimate settings gave a very authentic and calm vibe. My favorite food here was the delectable shrimp tacos with rice and beans. Many places choose the popcorn shrimp. But you can definitely taste the freshness and juicy taste in their shrimp. I will definitely come back. The waitress was so warm and welcoming. Just a different setting for most Mexican places. But It's a must visit.
Delicious food, great service, perfect drinks.
Called ahead and got a reservation. Absolutely worth it. They put us up top with a good view of the restaurant, beautiful wall of plants. The drinks were a perfect blend of flavor and kick so you know it's balanced right. The Carne Asada was flavored and cooked to perfection.
Really nice restaurant in the heart of campus town. The decorations and vibes of the restaurant are great. There are tvs at the bar and music playing. It makes it a bit difficult to hear but also makes conversations more private. Definitely on the more expensive side but you definitely get your moneys worth in the atmosphere.
Absolutely stunning restaurant! The ambiance is incredible here with the tall ceiling, loft and warm wood accents. The chandeliers are even authentic to the local area and Mexico, which just brings it’s charm to the next level. I was very pleased with the esthetic of the bathroom. It was very clean with colorful sinks and mirrors are so sweet. Super stoked to have a fine dining Mexican restaurant in the area!
Our host to greet us was warm and welcoming. My partner and I sat at the bar. Luke was our bartender and he is so creative and talented! The first drink was a flaming pineapple margarita type drink with some yummy purée. It had a little kick to it, sexy to look at and was delicious! The second beverage was a Black Cherry Mojito with cucumber. It was super refreshing and accompanied my red snapper meal nicely!
The menu has lots of good options. You can get fancy tacos and burritos for under $20 or if you want splurge a little more the entrees are abundant and all sound delicious. I had plenty of leftovers. My Red Snapper had a fabulous colorful presentation with green leaves and oranges. It had a spicy kick to it. As someone who generally doesn’t eat meat, I appreciated the seafood options and also have a vegan dish that sounds tasty! My partner had the Carne Asada entree and he said it was very fresh and everything seemed to be meticulously hand made. The queso was super yummy, made with a stretchy cheese, had shrimp substituted for the meat and was amazing!
We will definitely be back and highly recommend! I feel like it would be perfect for a special occasion as well. They have the capability to host large groups. Also perfect for Valentines, anniversaries, birthdays or just to treat yourself to something above and beyond.
Nice place and atmosphere. Food looked great. I expected better-tasting food. It wasn't bad, but not great. Not sure I would go back. Service was great.
Firstly, it is very expensive. One soup with tax came out at $ 20,
a salad that was brought without dressing and it was just “salad” - $19
Second one- soup and salad really awful
Soup remind me just a water, even not hot and too much spicy. I could not even start these soup. Just didn’t want to tell my server that I didn’t enjoy at all. My friend got soup and 2 dishes for himself. He didn’t like it too.
Of course we left tip for guy, but food was awful, we didn’t finish.
And left to the different restaurant.
But inside is really beautiful.
But food should be good as well, not just a design.

So much yum! I recommend the Mexico City Sunrise cocktail, which is beautiful and delicious - it even has a candied hibiscus flower. The choco flan cake was also delicious. Service was great!
This place is amazing. Greeted immediately when came in the door. Seated right away. Ordered drinks- fresh house Margarita that was light - not overly sweet at all and a Michelada ( Bloody Mary with beer). Great heirloom Mexican nachos and prickly pear cactus leaf salad. A very fresh take on Mexican food. Staff was very accommodating as our son was running late. Stayed open past closing time so he could join us. Service and food were both phenomenal. Not your fast food Mexican restaurant. Upscale and unique menus. Decor was amazing. Very clean. We will be back
