food was good and servers were very friendly. Only drawback was we were seated in the front and since the door was opening frequently, it was chilly (It was a cold & windy night outside).

Our server was excellent - very friendly, personable and knowledgeable. And didn't mind answering our many questions. Food and drinks were delicious. And my birthday celebration was probably the best I've ever seen in a restaurant. Will definitely go back for music on the patio in the warmer weather.

I was very disappointed that there were no tlayudas available. That was the main reason we came. Additionally, the molcajete is a much smaller portion now, with hardly any cheese, and the bowl wobbled terribly which made it difficult to eat. Not sure I will return with so many other options to choose from.
