    Overall, it was a nice experience but had a few flaws for such a experience place. The good: The Mezcal Selection was top tier. The Agave Specialists added a lot to the experience. Highly recommend trying a few flights of Mezcal (and let them choose!) The food was overall quite good. The Bone Marrow Tacos, while spendy, are quite delicious. And, the Hostesses are among the nicest I've come across in a fine dining experience. The Not Great: Service from our main server started off ok but really fell off after a few courses. It was a very weird, obvious change in his demeanor. We only ordered one cocktail, the Oaxacan Margarita. It was NOT good. I think we were still charged for them too (after dropping at least $130 on Mezcals.) The Lamb Barbacoa was way too salty and it was difficult to eat. Also, the timing of our dishes was really off. We sat for a good 45 minutes in between a few courses. And, it was my husband's birthday and no candle in the dessert? Idk, it would have been a nice touch of hospitality.

    Very cool environment and great service. The food was good but the pricing was way off. My husband and I go out to a lot of nice dinners. We are used to spending a bit more for amazing food. However, the bone marrow was good but 2 pieces for $38 was honestly offensive pricing. Very overpriced for what you get.

    The food was outstanding and the setting was great for a party of 6. The service was impeccable. The dishes were brilliantly constructed from traditional ingredients but prepared with a modern twist. The bone marrow tacos were quite remarkable but the fish tacos, empanadas, cobia crudo and other dishes were all fantastic

    Service was awful & rushed. My husband and I had high hopes for this place. The menu was so hard to understand and is way overpriced for modern Mexican food. The building itself was very unique & beautiful. It has way more potential.

    Slow but friendly service. Poorly written menu descriptions but delicious items. Everything just felt forced and not organic.

    From the moment we walked in, the experience was exceptional. The hostess warmly welcomed us, and our server set the tone with impeccable service. The attention to detail was unmatched… Every staff member even signed a birthday card, a gesture that felt incredibly thoughtful. The ambiance is something you truly need to experience for yourself absolutely amazing. And the food? Simply unforgettable. I’ll definitely be back soon!
