10/10 experience. I reserved this spot for my best friends birthday and it did not disappoint. Staff were attentive and thoughtful. The team even wrote her a birthday card. The food was phenomenal. All flavors mesh well in every dish. Pulpo a la Parilla, Pollo a la Leña, and the empanadas were our favorites. Definitely plan on coming back to try other dishes and for any other celebratory needs.

The vibes are immaculate here. Not sure why it isn’t more packed!! We went here before a show at the Salt Shed and it was a great meal, and a great way to get excited for our concert.
