    The appetizer (queso fondito and street corn) was exceptional. Drinks were really good. We got a pitcher of the jalapeño cucumber margarita. We were sat in the bar area at high tops and our server (the bar tender) wasn’t very attentive. I had to signal him over and he didn’t even respond to me the first time I tried to flag him over. We made eye contact so I don’t know if he just decided I wasn’t that important or what. When the food arrived 2 out of 3 of us were happy (Birria tacos and octopus tacos) but the steak fajitas came as a full steak vs sliced and it was chewy.

    Our food was delicious and well-prepared. We especially enjoyed the tableside guacamole. The service from Grace was perfection itself. However, the disco-beat soundtrack was louder than necessary and got to be grating after a while.

    Small bites and cocktails were fantastic, tacos were mediocre at best - stale tasting tortillas, dry, lacking flavor. Didn’t feel like a good value.

    I went solely for the chilaquiles; I was not disappointed at all! Ingredients were fresh and tasty. I did order a mimosa too and was not the biggest fan of it. My server was awesome tho. Overall a good experience and would recommend coming here for a “Mexican style” brunch.
