    When we arrived this nice young lady assisted us to our table and even asked if we had preference for different tables. The waitress was very friendly and helpful. Understood exactly what we wanted and check on us in a very discreet way (I appreciate this because sometimes it can be too much). Food was great, recommend the Queso fundido and the Tetelas. The guava and passion fruit margaritas low on sugar are amazing, and the little popsicle that comes with it makes it so flavorful and fun. Will continue going to this place
