Walked by and took a chance and I’m glad I did. We had the cochinita pibil and the pozole. The cochinita had good flavor I just wished it was spicier. I asked for salsa for extra heat but it was kind of bland and not hot at all, oh and they charged a dollar for it so that was annoying. The real standout was the pozole, it was AMAZING. I don’t usually get that dish out at a restaurant because it widely varies on who makes it but I’m glad we did. I will say, the size of the plates are HUGE so make sure you come hungry. The restaurant itself was spotless and the service was friendly. I’d go back.

The staff was unhappy to be there, very cold service attitude. The food was ok, but nothing special or appealing. The veggie tacos were like a stew served in soft taco. The cocktails were very watery. We order the Cadillac – the grand maeignie was definitely missing in this cocktail. The first cocktail was serve with eco straw, no straw for the second one of mine. My husbond cocktail was serve with plastic straw and no straw for the second one as well. Not a place were we want to return for sure. The atmosphere was wired and unwelcoming mainly because of the staff. Overall was clean place.

Food was a delightful surprise. Delicious and presented nicely. Only reason I did not give five stars is that I’m hard of hearing and the environment was a bit noisy making it hard to hear conversations that are part and parcel of eating out. That said, I’d definitely go back to try other dishes.

The macaroni and cheese is a perfectly shareable side – especially since it’s so rich. Delicious! Great food & atmosphere, nice and casual. Good spot to grab a drink.
