The venue is really cosy and I would definitely recommend having diner in the patio at the back!

Overall the food was good but we were uncomfortable most of the time there. The seated us on the high table in the front and basically squeezed us between two large parties. We kept getting hit with more people trying to squeeze in and then they asked us to move over to make room. Took a while to get the waitresses attention but they were nice. Overall didn’t have a great impression – you can also find better (and cheaper) food nearby.

We got table early afternoon without booking and were very excited. Food service and atmosphere makes it a special place. With 2 drinks and 2 mains we payed less than $100. I recommend booking in advance as getting table for walk-in may be challenging.

We’re so sad that the quality of the food has dropped so far down since the last time we came a few years back. Their shrimp taco, as seen in the picture below, comes with ONE slice of avocado, despite their price increasing to 23 dollars. The tortilla is large but the filling is incredibly limited, making you wonder how they couldn’t add one or two more slices of avocado for that price…since the wrap was huge with such little fillings, the entire dish tasted overly bland. This used to be our favorite, but now it became one of the worst shrimp taco we ever had :/

We went for Sunday brunch and it was amazing! We got the duck chilaquiles, the quinoa and chicken dish and the sausage/veggie plate. Yummy iced coffee, too, and great service. The patio was also so pretty.

I did not expect this place to SO GOOD! A very charming ambiance (the patio is beautiful and must be awesome to be in it during warmer months). The sausage and vegetable parrillada is definitely the way to go. Just excellent. The picanha steak was so decadent and delicious. Yucca puree? Yes, please, delicious. The dessert was disappointing after the savory dishes, but overall a very good experience.

I remember coming to this place about 8 years ago and loving it. The food ambience, all of it was perfect. Needless to say when I visited again, I expected more of the same. However, that is not at all what I was met with. The food paled in comparison, and quite honestly was objectively bad. I got the Bone Marrow & Chimichurri and duck tacos for appetizers. The bone marrow was nice and well balanced, however lacking sustenance a dish should have. The duck tacos were dry and lacking flavor. However, at this point I wasn’t very disappointed, as the drinks I got were quite good. However the absolute most disappointing aspect of this meal, was my main, the Pichana, which I had read about. I ordered medium rare. It quite literally came out medium well/well. When I informed my server, my friend noticed that the kitchen looked upset at me – which is baffling to me as it was not even near medium rare. They remade it, and I told the waiter it could come out closer to rare, however, when I received it, it was black and blue, slightly seared on the outside, completely raw on the inside; it was insanely chewy, and it lacked any flavor at all. The next disappointment was dessert. It wasn’t that it was bad, it was the fact that it literally took 35 minutes to come out. In fact, the whole meal was terribly paced. Our apps took about 25 minutes to come out, our mains over 30 minutes, and our second round of drinks about 20 minutes. Our server probably checked in about 4 times in this 2 and a half hour period and never apologized for the delays. Between the outstanding amount of time we were at the restaurant, the overall lack luster flavors of the food, and the failure of cooking a steak (twice in a row), which, for a restaurant at this price point, is quite shocking, the experience was quite a bad one.

We were a party of 8 and had a great time. Food was all out of this world, drinks were great, and service was good! It’s also a beautiful restaurant with a really cute outdoor seating area. All the tacos were incredible and the churros with ice cream were INSANE. Would definitely return and highly recommend!

Spectacular food in such a cozy and welcoming spot. We sat in the back garden and it was so so lovely. Great, friendly and helpful service. And the food!! The blackened bone marrow was fantastic, loved the trout (that sauce!) and the corn salad was also great. Loved the carnitas tacos. We’ll be back for sure, next time with friends.
