    The tacos were amazing! Had the short rib birria and the carnitas. Also really enjoyed the chips and salsa flight. Would definitely come back again.

    Please dedicate a gluten-free fryer so those of us with celiac can actually eat the items labeled as GF on the menu.

    Overall didn’t like it and wouldn’t go back or recommend to friends, it was a $300 spent for a less than ok food. We ordered Shrimp plancha, shrimp tamarindo taco, crab & shrimp flautas, filet mignon taco, short rib enchiladas, chips and guacamole, margaritas and three leches cake. Shrimp plancha $40 plate for 9 pieces of shrimp. The taste was all right ( not something I would go back for) Shrimp taco was all right ($11, worth to try) Crab and shrimp flauta you can barely taste the crab and shrimp in there (I wouldn’t recommend it at all $30) Short rib enchiladas were pretty good, it’s a very strong taste and super spicy (I recommend) Filet mignon tacos, super salty and didn’t taste like filet mignon, tasted like rib eye Guac and chips were pretty good Margaritas were all right ($20) Três peches cake was delicious!!! I would totally recommend it. ($9)

We aim to provide high-quality ingredients and flavors that are worth the cost, so it’s disappointing to hear that some dishes didn’t hit the mark for you. That said, we’re glad you enjoyed the short rib enchiladas, chips & guac, and especially the tres leches cake! We’ll be sharing your comments with our kitchen team to improve where we can. While we regret that we didn’t earn your recommendation this time, we do appreciate you giving us a try.
