Took a chance for a last minute anniversary dinner. Great choice! Unbelievably creative cocktails, very attentive after, and really interesting Mexican menu. Taco appetizers were good, but the other dishes - mole enchilada and guava paste tostada - were exceptional. And the cocktail were so good we skipped dessert to indulge in one more round. Great little gem (in a funny strip mall). Highly recommend.
