The food we ordered was good and the servers were pretty attentive. This is a nice place to go to if you want to catch up with friends and not feel pressured to hurry up and eat. The drink menu was pretty extensive and were solidly made as well. They have indoor and outdoor seating.

Visited on a Saturday night recently. It was pretty quiet; only 3 tables occupied and I’m surprised there weren’t more people. This place is great! I ordered the Rosa colada and wow! It was so good. It was like drinking a strawberry milkshake. I also ordered the guacamole and steak fajitas. Both were so, so good. The steak was well seasoned, tender and juicy. It came with rice and beans and tortillas. All fresh and tasty. The service was quick and attentive as well. I really enjoyed my experience and can’t wait to come back!

I love this restaurant, and it is my husband’s favorite. The food, drinks, service and vibe are excellent. Great for all occasions eat/drinking solo at the bar; first date; 101st date; birthday; afterwork drinks; girls night out… indoor and outdoor seating. Sea bass; salmon; tacos; enchiladas…. All served quite elegantly. Definitely a MUST TRY.

Very summery vibrant outdoor dining space, and the indoor area also opens up. Love the street corn, excellent flavor. Enchiladas, fajitas and tacos were a good value as well.

Came here for happy hour with friends. The staff is extremely friendly and accommodating. The drinks and food were delicious. We had a baby with us and the staff constantly came to our table to provide fruit and other things for the baby. I would highly recommend this spot to anyone in the area or looking for a great spot to have a nice drink. #happyhour #drinks #family #tequila #whiskey #art

Beautiful local spot. I haven’t been here since the shutdown.Great service by the staff. I was assisted by 4 different people and it was like they all knew me. Kinda like having 4 servers devoted to me. I was in time for happy hour, yippee!! The margaritas and the chicken fajitas were amazing and flavorful. I can wait to come back and sample more of thee menu! Definitely worth a stop if you’re in the neighborhood.
