Diego took care of us very well - attentive and professional! We tried two different versions of the ceviche and neither disappointed. And we enjoyed the fire show of the trompo pastor that proved to be enough for 6 people - very tasty as well.

We usually visit this place for lunch or dinner, but this was our first time experiencing happy hour, and it did not disappoint! The service was excellent, and the general manager took the time to stop by and chat with us, which is always a nice touch in my book. The food was good, and we had a wonderful time catching up with friends. We’ll definitely be back!

It was our first time visiting with my family and from the beginning the host and servers were very welcoming. They even brought us complimentary sweet bread and hot chocolate for first timers. The food and service was spectacular! We will definitely come again.

Their menu was huge and it’s Mexican food and Italian food. Lots of choices. Everything was very tasty and they have a full bar. I highly suggest the guacamole with chicharrones for an appetizer. The chicharrones were made fresh and so good. We want to go back for breakfast sometime.

Absolutely loved this restaurant! Everything was SO delicious! The drinks were amazing, and the enmoladas were honestly one of my favorites. You can tell the food is made with so much flavor. And don’t even get me started on the desserts! We tried both the cuatro leches cake and the churros, and WOW… they were BOMB! 🤤 Everything was delicious from start to finish. Definitely a place I would come back to and highly recommend! 10/10! ❤️🌮🍹

    Both the food and our server were outstanding, probably one of the better margaritas I’ve had in the city. . The mole and the green enchiladas are our favorites, and I tried the yellowfin tuna taco special, which was fresh and delicious. Melisa and Davis, the managers, also stopped by the table to visit with us …all in all a great experience!
