This is an excellent place for Mexican food. And lots of it! The guacamole is delicious, as are the enchiladas de mole poblano and the carne asada. And excellent mojitos!

This was a great find for Mexican food. Carne Asada was really delicious -- better than I've had at other Mexican restaurants -- the steak was tender and all else excellent to go with it. My friend had enchiladas with mole poblano. Also v good. we totally recommend!

Neighborhood gem! I've been in the neighborhood for years but never managed to visit here. From beginning to end a great experience. Cosy atmosphere, attentive service, delicious food. No problems with our special requests (no raw onions in our salad, no cheese in the enchilada, etc). Great value and great experience. Ill be back - often!
