Megan Roof
Our waiter was great! Cute restaurant. The menu was very small but the food and drinks were good. The waiter said everything is made in house. Wish the burrito came with beans or something on the side rather than just the burrito. Chips and salsa are not included but you get a good variety with the option for purchase. Went around 6:00pm on a Saturday and was seated immediately.

You absolutely, positively have to go in and converse with Alex! He is very knowledgeable about all the tequila options that they have in the bar and you will have a great conversation with him. If you’re interested in trying any type of tequila, he will give you all the information that you need! The ambience great and comfortable. And you will definitely definitely definitely be coming back time after time. Also, the food is phenomenal. He makes sure that he’s sets a scene that accentuates the culture surrounding the items on the menu. Make sure you go anytime you’re in Covington!!!

Got some lunch here that was pretty solid. The food itself was delicious. I got the burrito which was very filling. One of my friends got the shrimp tacos which actually had huge portions on them and looked really good. The atmosphere was fun. Very clean and and good amount of tables. Only downside was the price. Just a little too expensive for what it was in my mind. Not too bad though.

Delicious, full service, Latin American spot. Dishes with layers of if flavor, large portions, and an active owner who opens doors with a smile. This spot was a good surprise and very well worth another visit

The food as well as the drinks are well-made-it was quite obvious they care was put into the preparation. The space was absolutely beautiful; it was inviting and very clean. The cleanliness was comparable to a restaurant that was opened within the past month. Our bartender was very friendly and knowledgeable. I highly recommend a visit. Delicious!

Stopped in today for lunch. It was amazing! To be clear, if you are looking for ground beef on a steamed flour tortilla with some shredded lettuce and cheese this is not for you. Nor is this for you if you want to order and see your food in 30 seconds.

I had lunch here with friends recently and really enjoyed it. The margaritas were delicious, the chips and guac were fresh and delightful, and we all loved our entrees. The Del Mar taco was such an unexpected delight! Service was super friendly, too.
