I am a big fan of Mercado and I had a lunch meeting in the downtown area so I decided to try here. Menu was very similar to Mercado and the food is always delicious, if you’re a fan of high-end Mexican cuisine I highly recommend this restaurant.

First time here. Stopped in for a quick bite before a concert and it did not disappoint. Parking can be a challenge but you can valet. I was there just prior to end of work rush hour. Might be good to call for reservation. Once in, place passes the eye ball test. Clean, organized and staff is taking care of you. Nice drink and bar selection. Top shelf stuff is . Happy hour is a big hit. Food and drink specials are legit and tasty. I will be back.

I have been to Mexico at least 20 times, and the food here is the real deal. It is unbelievably fresh and authentic. The handmade flour and corn tortillas are exceptional, and what’s even better is that these handmade tortillas, are what’s used for the tortilla chips. The only downside was that the service wasn’t attentive ( never brought a drink that was ordered and never refilled water or checked up after the food was delivered). I would however return for the culinary delight

One of the cooked salmon’s I’ve ever had. The outside was perfectly crispy and the inside moist and tender. A must stop by.

I thoroughly enjoyed their flan and churro ice cream. I had a cucumber jalapeño mezcal drink (didn’t get the name but it was suggested by my waitress) and it was delicious! Everything on their happy hour menu is delicious as well. Their service is also friendly and knowledgeable.

Food is delicious! The prices are worth the taste! $30 for carne asada but very tasty. Love the fact the have black corn tortillas. Agua frescas too. Melon con mango! Hard to believe it’s near Skidrow.

One of the best pozoles I’ve ever had. With the most tender pork bits yet firm hominy, I ordered myself two bowls. Pozole is only available on Saturdays for 8$! It’s a small bowl but that’s why I got two. Sooooo good. The right amount of spice and savory. the staff is so friendly here! I felt right at home. After coming here again but for more!!! I was especially impressed. Everything here is delicious. Expensive but OH SO worth it!!!

Restaurant is nice,service is great, undoubtedly the best tres leches and flan ive ever tried but the guacamole was blackish, when k tried to change it they gave me the same blackish one. Its disgusting and insulting they give me the same and expect me to eat it.
