This place is amazing if you love Tequila!!! Unbelievable selections! Our waiter was very helpful and flexible with the Tequila flights. The Softshell Crab taco appetizer and shrimp ceviche was delicious. The Seabass entree was scrumptious. Delicious Cajeta flan!!! Definitely worth trying!

Top tier service with plenty of of plant based options. Our server yesterday when we came in around 6:30 was very friendly and very informed about the menu. He overheard me say I can’t have the chips and guacamole because I’m allergic to corn and he brought out cucumbers for me. That was so so thoughtful. Great experience

I have been meaning to come here for a while and so glad I finally made it in. The atmosphere was absolutely warm and welcoming and the food was so delicious! I was so sad that I can only eat so much but that's what to go boxes are for. I can see this spot becoming a place I come to enjoy with my friends that come into town and for date night. I felt like a little piece of home here in the food, the service, and the atmosphere.
