    This is our favorite location by far. We come here at least once a month and more recently started coming pretty frequently for brunch. We have other locations that are much closer to us but the food and service at the Silverlake location is unmatched so we happily make the extra drive. No matter how big or small our party is they have been more than accommodating to our needs. We’ve celebrated birthdays, anniversaries, hallmark holidays and even had our club gatherings here. Any time we have friends visiting from out of state or country we bring them here too. The food is always exceptional & affordable by LA standards. You will definitely get the most bang for your buck here and the best part is not only will you have full from the amazing food but your friends will be impressed and it sets the bar high! Highly recommend the bottomless drinks for both brunch and dinner.

    The highlights were the cocktails, and I loved that they had an NA cocktail option for our group. The outdoor patio is right on Hollywood boulevard, but you feel like you are in a private oasis tucked away and surrounded by plants! Would definitely dine again and cannot wait to try their new THERE THERE concept, opening soon.

    We went to Aro Latin before the UCLA game at the Rose Bowl. The tacos were so delicious, we had to order another round. Margaritas were amazing. Staff was incredibly friendly. Will definitely go back!
