    Dined on Christmas Eve. Delicious food, felt a bit rushed, not knowing the kitchen was closing at 3:00. Totally understand, staff to go home and enjoy family. Would have been nice to have known while making our reservation.

    Margaritas and ceviches are so good. We also ordered mole for my husband and he really liked it. We sat in a booth and were able to watch the sunset. It was beautiful and overall great experience. I want to suggest to clean the chairs too not just the tables. Other than that it was great as always.

    The management totally overbooked the restaurant and we were 20 minutes after scheduled reservation. They then tried to seat 6 people at a table of 4. I asked to be moved and they moved us to a corner and again figured out a way to seat 6 people where 5 people fit. Manager did not care about the issue nor offered a solution.

    If you order enchiladas it is one piece and for a very high price, they should serve a minimum portion of 3 as in all good Mexican restaurants.
