    The food and drinks were exceptional. We had the lobster tacos and barbacoa tacos for dinner as well as a guacamole for an appetizer.  Highly recommend the restaurant.

    I was pleasantly surprised how good the food was. Walking in I was disappointed in the decor and figured this was just another gimmick restaurant in Fulton Market. The food had very authentic flavors and minus the Shrimp Aguachile ( which came out too raw).

    The food was good and the ambience was nice. However, I’m a little disappointed because in the reservation I specifically stated that we were celebrating a birthday and that was not acknowledged when we checked in or at the table at all, the check was brought before I could even bring it up to the waitress. The manager was also rude to my friend about her outfit. Not sure what the restaurant dress code is but she was dressed business causal and it was a Tuesday night and the restaurant did not have a lot of patrons.

    The food was good, but you have to special prep it to your liking because i think they put potatoes. And peas in everything. $20 a shot with a minimum of 4 was outrageous. The churro dessert wasn’t served to us with the chocolate sauce and i didn’t like how the server just added 20% to both checks at our table

    The ambiance was nice. The service was good overall. Our server Justin was cool and attentive. Recommendations: the guacamole, steak tacos, old-fashioned and pomegranate sorbet. We waited for our table to be ready and sat at the bar for drinks. The bartender seemed to be a little annoyed because I didn’t like my spicy watermelon margarita and I asked for the Summer Love instead. The margarita was a little too strong for me. It had nothing to do with the bartender’s capability to make a great drink. My husband loved his margarita and old fashioned. He said it was one of the best old-fashioned’s he’s had. The guacamole was amazing! Nice warm chips to accompany the guacamole. My steak tacos were good, great flavor. I could do without the potatoes but it still was a good taco. The carne asada steak dinner was flavorful but a bit chewy. Churros were a little firm, maybe due to being piled on ice cream but they were tasty. Pomegranate sorbet was everything! I would like to return for the brunch vibes and Dj to see how that is.
