Weweremeetingold friends halfway. I found this restaurant on open table. Menu looked great. I asked fora quieter table in the back. It was perfect. The food was delicious, portions enough to bring some home for lunch. My margarita was perfectly made. If we lived closer, this would be my neighborhood go to!

It was my first time and I had such a great experience! The food was fantastic and the wine added such a nice touch to the evening. I loved all the variety of wines available as it allowed me to explore and try something I couldn’t elsewhere. The food menu is also quite varied and has something for everyone! The service was great and quick, even though it was fairly busy. Will definitely be returning!

The food was absolutely amazing, the carne asada was literal perfection and so were the ropa vieja plantains, the cochinita pibil and the ceviche. They were able to accommodate our large party of 10 on short notice and the service was wonderful- thank you Chris!!!

Staff was top notch from the hosts who were able to get merge some tables for my large party to the wait stuff who accommodate seven hangry kids and an egg allergy. Burgers, chicken sandies and apps were as good as the original Loop location.
