    We order the chilaquiles verdes and the steak with potatoes breakfast. The chilaquiles were really good but the steak did not have flavor and wasn't cook right :( We also ordered the mimosas tower and for our taste was more orange juice than alcohol I believe was 88oz and we were two people only,we didn't even feel the buzz, we couldn't even finish it because it was so oversweet we couldn't keep drinking it.

    I was really impressed with my overall experience. The service was great, our waiter was nice and attentive. The food was phenomenal. The tuna tostadas have some kind of matcha salsa base, I’ve never had anything like that before but it was very tasty. I love that this restaurant is Mexico City inspired and the has a very cool modern touch to it. I will definitely be back here again to try more items on their menu.

    This is a wonderful new place on Clark St., just north of Fullerton. A Latin inspired menu but not Mexican. I recommend this place highly.
