    We entered through the fridge door and stepped into a delightful space, found some open bar stools and dove into Mezcal Margheritas, Taquitos — with the puffy flour tortilla—chef's kiss. The menu has a lot to offer, the tacos and fajitas were fantastic. I highly recommend getting your fill here.

    Overall, it was very good, the server was very nice, a little hard to understand, but a very good vibe. Just took a little longer than what we expected for our food to arrive.
