The food here is flavorful, fresh and rustic to a degree. The ambiance in the dining room is nice open breezy and green with all the wall plants. Can’t rave enough about the pumpkin dip, pork belly tacos, and empanadas. Drinks were delightful and fresh too. Would definitely come back. Service was good but odd had a hang up about us holding onto 1 menu partially through our meal adventure for drinks and food.

Went for dinner with my friends. Loved the decor and atmosphere. It was laid back but still nice. It was Sunday evening and the dress was a lot of sun dresses and shorts. My favorite was the octopus but everything we ate was flavorful. Can’t wait to take the husband. Easy, flavorful and thoughtful food.

Even though this place is pretty expensive it’s worth it! We got seating outside which was really nice on a warm night. I like the decor & snake plants they have everywhere it’s a calming atmosphere. The food was really good! My favorite was the bone marrow corn. I also tried an espresso martini for the first time & it was amazing! Our waiter way very attentive & made sure we had enough water during our meal. Highly recommend!

Food was great but hard to imagine what it is based on the name alone. Pictures in the menu would help A LOT. And the food was great and the service good. Prices a bit higher but expected for a classy place. The noise level is high. Very hard to hear people in normal conversations.

Great meal. I recommend the pork shoulder and the pulpo. Everything was delicious, but I’m surprised by how good the beignets were. I don’t even have a sweet tooth, but they were so bomb. Cocktails were strong but tasty as well.

The food, service and atmosphere were all amazing! We happened to be in Tustin and decided to try this one Michelin star. When we came, we missed the lunch, so only had access to the limited menu, but that was already enough for us. Tried everything on the limited menu and liked everything! I especially liked the potatoes. The drinks were very good and our bartender was great. I would come back here again!

Came here for lunch and loved the vibe. The grapefruit Hibiscus Margarita was very good and the empanadas as well. They were made of corn instead.

Food was good, but I was still hungry after my dish. I probably would’ve gone with three stars for that, but the bombas were good and I would come back just for that.

Enjoy an amazing dining experience in a beautifully remodeled and modernized building in Old Town Tustin. The cuisine is Mexican (Yucatan) Fusion. The service is excellent.
