    First time at this restaurant! My friend and I came here for brunch/ unlimited mimosas. A little hesitant on the price as I’m used to paying $12 per person where I live. But the $30 price includes the juice and there is a wide variety of them. The food was delicious and our server was super nice and answered all of our questions. I will go again

    The whole operation was run poorly. Three people got their food and one person in our party didn’t get their food for at least 15 minutes. Didn’t get the sides with the fajitas, had to ask for silverware and napkins, etc. there was no soap in the restrooms. Made me wonder what the employees did to properly wash their hands after using the toilet. Food was pretty good though

    We enjoyed mojitos, chicken mole, and salmon poblano very much last night. Fresh, inventive, and attractively presented. Excellent service & fun, friendly atmosphere. Walking distance from hotel.

    A very busy night in Downtown during the Christmas festival. The restaurant was very busy and the staff worked very hard to make sue everyone was served wonderful food. The energy was great, the ambiance was fun, and definitely enjoyed our evening.

    We were sat at a table and the tables were so close to each other that we decided to move. The food was okay. The molcajete was good but the pancakes were dull. Literally just pancakes with whipped cream and strawberries falling on the side. They gave us broken plates and broken to go boxes. The waitress told us sorry three times and she was nice. The fresh waters (agua fresca) were not the best. Overall it was a good experience

    Serving a large party you definitely need more than one waiter. Waited 1 1/2 hours for water. A waiter should never say your going to have to wait, I’m taking orders. The worst Menudo I have ever eaten or seen, no tripe or harmony ~ it was 6 piece of tripe and green. Enchiladas dry. They did not sing happy birthday, knowing we were celebrating two birthdays. Worst experience. Bathroom ran out of toilet paper and Filthy. Restaurant needs a New Manager and staff.
