    My friend and I both ate off the vegetarian menu and it was amazing. Our waiter was knowledgeable and the tequila and cocktail menu was lengthy. Worth noting that almost all seating is outside, which is great right now in the fall, but could be rough in the 8 months of summer that Austin gets!

    Ambiance is really nice. Simple wood furniture with nice lighting. We sat at the sushi counter and had an amazing time. We ordered a spicy tuna roll, two king salmon nigiri, a salmon hand roll, a yellowtail roll, and edamame. Cocktails are amazing. We ordered the red dragon and a birds of paradise. The birds of paradise was AMAZING. Our server was great as well. Overall a really nice experience.

    We were drawn back by the menu descriptions in the February newletter and so started with the La Catrina Negra drink. The marigold flower powder was a very fun addition. The Queso appetizer was wrapped in hoja santa leaves that our server told us were grown in Chef Iliana’s own garden. The Estofado Istmeno was also delicious. The crowning touch was the Tamal de Chocolate with orange blossom ice cream. We like the ice cream so much we ordered an extra bowl. Can’t wait to see the next newsletter to see what we’ll be ordering during our next visit.
