Tyler Kelly
An incredible Mexican restaurant! Probably some of the best fresh grilled Mexican food I’ve had anywhere. Good atmosphere for a nice sit down meal or to relax with a drink. I highly recommend their queso dip appetizer because it was genuinely my favorite part, I would go back just for that

First time here. It was not a disappointment. Great food and the atmosphere was really nice! We had Cassandra as a server, and she was great! I used to audit servers before they would start on the floor, and I have to tell you, she is one of the great ones. I could tell she had been in the business for a long time. Very friendly and personable. Thank you Cassandra we will be back to sit in your section.

This is a great Mexican and Tequila restaurant. A nice, Modern vibe inside the restaurant. The service was impeccable. They were nice and efficient. The drinks were very good, have the Classic Margarita. The fish tacos are delicious! The churros are amazing. The food was great and it’s worth it to go. Tell ’em Barsnobs sent ya!

First time there. Loved the entranceway. Very welcoming. Nice atmosphere with the wallpaper design and lighting. I sat at a hightop by the bar and ordered a cilantro grilled chicken taco, blackened salmon taco, and a pork carnitas taco. They were all amazing and worth the price. Even the chips and salsa were amongst the best I’ve ever had. The staff was all very friendly. I would like to note though (since I’m from out of state) there was a local tax, state tax, and kitchen appreciation tax added to the bill.

My spouse and I had dinner in the bar. Pleasant atmosphere, nicely decorated, good menu, pricey. Service was good. My salad was perfectly sized for me, filling but not huge. Busy place even during the week. There’s parking front and side of the restaurant plus behind and underneath.

Came in here after an interview at the Westin. Sat at the bar for a late lunch. The bartender was great. Excellent service. He was attentive and conversational to the right degree. I got some tacos and beer. I have been to the Davis Sq and Washington Sq locations and this one is right up there with them. I will be back again in the future!

Delicious food. We had been for sunday brunch (which is unlimited 25$ per person) and got a chance to taste multiple dishes. The quantity is small so you can taste many dishes.
