    My favorite place downtown. Two of us shared seafood pozole, pork belly tacos, plantain tostones, baked oysters (nightly special, patatas bravas and some drinks. Loved it all & Jake's service was perfect. The shape of the space and decor are comforting.

    Overall a good experience. The food was great, however, the “tostones y guacamole” had way too much lime flavor, and the “Cabrito Guisado” was very over salted.

    Relaxed and casual with a wide selection of tapas and shareable food. Unique drink menu. Food is served when it’s ready so it’s easy to order more or less as you dine. Our waiter was knowledgeable and efficient and checked many items with the kitchen for those with food allergies. There really is something for everyone on the menu. Easy parking next door and 1 block to fountain square.
