We visit this place after complete team meeting and have dinner together for the first time. Love the overall vibe. Chill and relax. Nice place for after work to hangout, especially when your boss pays . All of us eat with various fillings and side dishes. Mine have to adapt some the hottest dipping sauce with my prawns taco to spice them up which results tasty beyond expectations. Rice as side dish is great.

Great ambience and friendly staff. The happy hour is a great deal with a few food items and $5 margaritas. The food is creative, unfortunately it’s just ok. We ordered the ribeye fajitas and they were more like thin, bland. skirt steak. The veggies were great but the meat was bland.

We went for happy hour, it was $$$ $8 for a 10oz rocks margarita. The salsa sampler was a nice presentation, but 2 of the 4 salsas were almost too hot to eat. I can appreciate we’re not in old Austin anymore but I think I’ll take my Mexican food a little less fancy.

Super popular and busy place with a hip ambiance. Long wait times. Delicious unique cocktails. Loved the chips with 4 kinds of salsa. Tacos were average. Grilled avocado is a unique appetizer. I was too full to have desert, so I’ll have to go back.

We were really looking forward to dining here after just returning from CDMX, but it failed to meet our expectations. Staff were decent but the food took forever to come out. One person in our party got their tacos and the other waited over 30 minutes for theirs. I wish I could say the food was worth the wait but it definitely was not. The tuna tostadas were not good and nothing like what we anticipated. The ribeye tacos were not good either. Super thin slices of meat that did not really have a taste or seasoning to them and the tortillas were too thick and seemed undercooked and doughy. The guacamole was just okay. I will say their drinks and salsas were pretty good, but that’s about it. Save yourself the trouble and eat somewhere else, there are so many other good options in Austin.

Very tasty Baja tacos. I don’t know what the other reviews are comparing portion size to, and chips were refillable, so we both left feeling very full and satisfied. ITS NOT TEX MEX! Great original Mexican flavors, true homemade chips that come with 4 salsas, the best beans and rice I’ve ever had, and our server Ty was on top of our drinks and served us very well. Definitely will come back here again!

Pretty underwhelming for what you expect from CDMX. They haven’t been open long and definitely need to work out some things. Very few vegetarian options and every dish we had was mediocre at best. It seems like they’ve leaned into sauces (like mayo and sour cream) to cover up for bland dishes. There is substantially better (and cheaper) fine Mexican cuisine in Austin. I hope they work out kinks, but based on my experience this place is not worth the money.
