I loved this restaurant, my husband chose it to celebrate our civil wedding, we took our family and the treatment from the first moment was incredible, they offered us water, they gave us good recommendations, it is a date that I still think about how delicious the food and drinks were here, I loved how friendly the staff were, they were very considerate since we were celebrating our civil wedding and they gave us a dessert and a few drinks of tequilas, the payment process was very fast and the food was very fast. Also, despite the fact that we all order different dishes, I recommend this restaurant to all my customers, thank you for making our day special, I definitely recommend your food, your atmosphere and drinks is amazing everything!

Amazing restaurant. Beautiful aesthetics and the owners are super nice and so is the bartender. They have an amazing happy hour all week. It's a super welcoming environment. The prices are super reasonable. Just be aware that gratuity is added to the bill. I have to go back and try their food.

Ok the food was great great flavor and everything taste freshly made. The service was good it was a little cold in the back but it was a rainy day. The cons the menu was dirty on the plastic cover and the bathroom was dark and hard to found the light switch so my kid was a little scared with that. Quesadilla was the best for me .

A very fine and authentic culinary experience - 1 side of menu from Spain and the other from Mexico, both provided a rare transporting experience. Mexican is unlike the typical tex-mex - more refined and as you would experience in Mexico. Mexican - Mictlan ceviche - delicious scallops on watermelon mix. Spain Tapas - langostinos - simply prepared in olive oil and sea salt packing flavor, bone marrow - huge pieces of marrow inside and fried beef pieces. These were more than enough for 2 and had to take home the ordered pulpo and tres leches. Guava cocktail was super fresh pink guava and smooth and, of course, sippable smooth mezcal options. Looking forward to paella next time. Mole was great from another time.
