Reviews
Came here on a Wednesday night.. got seated right away. Good service, both from the server and the bartender. I got shrimp quasedilla, it was really good. The drink my table ordered, rosa maria something, was also really good. Don't forget to post the place on your social media to get free shots, cause the shot was really good!! I thought it was going to be a regular straight shot, but the bartender mix it with hibiscus, turn out to be a pretty tasty red shot! Love it!
I had a really good date at this restaurant. It's small and intimate. The sangria is good, the service is fast and the food was very good. I will be returning.
3 for Service/Ambiance 4 for cocktails 3.5 overall Note this review is only for our cocktail night experience. We dropped by craving some mezcal - it was my first time having mezcal cocktail, and I was absolutely satisfied with my drink! I got the La Rosa Maria (rosemary infused mezcal, yuzu, agave, and chamomile salt on the rocks). We enjoyed our magaritas/cocktails, and I would consider coming back again at an earlier time. The inside has great decor that has a bit of Dia de Los Muertos feel. Seating was at first comfy, but deeper into our stay, they started blasting music and eventually a line formed inside the restaurant for what we assumed a club. As we were expecting a chill cocktail night, the loud music and crowd of patrons waiting on a line next to our table wasn't the most welcoming. It became a little hard to hear each other. Aim to come earlier in the night to avoid not being able to hear the people at your table and for hopefully a better experience.
Beautiful Mexican restaurant. Really loved the colorful and fun and atmosphere. We were surprised by the friendly customer service our waiter was very nice and welcoming. We started our afternoon with margaritas and enjoyed happy hour atmosphere. Will definitely return to try their food menu!
Stopped by here for New Year's Eve and was very happy with everything! The staff was very attentive and friendly. Drinks were delicious and strong. I would def come back again!
