This is probably my favorite restaurant in the area, hands down. Service is great and the food is remarkable. The grilled octopus is out of this world. I’ll just let the pictures talk. Highly recommend.

Made a reservation because we had a show at the theater across the street. The food was phenomenal! We first started with the Queso de Cabra & Patatas con La Huancaina. Of the 2 the queso was my favorite. The sauce had the right bit of heat & with the goat cheese they complimented each other. We finished with the Camarones & Flautas. Both were large portions for a tapas restaurant. The blue polenta was cooked perfectly & my husband even liked the shrimp! We accompanied our meals with a glass of Malbec & Carmenere & ordered the La Dragona but I’ve confirmed I don’t like mezcal so our waitress had another drink made right away. Great place for a date night! We’d love to come back if on the north side again. Compliments to the chef!

Great food, great atmosphere, great service. The flautas and steak were both amazing, and l was positively surprised by the stuffed poblano. The desert was also amazing. Would highly recommend!

Such a pleasant surprise! Food was delightful, service helpful and attentive and cocktails a lovely complement. I appreciated that the vegetarian options weren’t an afterthought. They were varied and filling. The desserts were a highlight – not too sweet and somehow light. I will 100% come back again, happily. I have one small note – char on the cauliflower would be nice. Other than that, I literally scraped every bit off the plate.

I am new to the neighborhood. My wife is out of town so After a long day of getting settled I decided to treat myself. Success! Had a nice steak with mushrooms in mole sauce. For dessert I had a killer dark chocolate bread pudding served with vanilla ice cream. The place was still jumping at 9pm when I came in. Atmosphere is chill romantic. I definitely will be back.

Small but intimate space. We arrived later in the evening but still had incredible service from the bartender Jennifer, very friendly and fun. Food was incredible, wish we weren’t just passing through so we could make another visit. Definitely worth a try.
