    Crispy taco with shrimp

    Amazing food! Fell in love with crispy shrimp taco! We ll be definitely ordering again!

    Tres leches cake at the end of a great meal!
    Jun D.

    Amazing. We had the al pastor nachos and I, the tongue huaraches. The al pastor pork nachos were the bomb; a light layer of beans on top of the nachos along with guacamole and sour cream. The pork was succulent, the perfect combination of fat and protein. Before that we started off with complimentary nacho chips and fresh salsa. Green, red and fresh chutney salsa. My tongue huarache was on a fresh flour tortilla with tender, tender beef tongue. Had it with the green salsa. It was topped with sour cream and cheese that added just the right amount of flavor to compliment the rich tongue. We finished with a beautifully done tres leches cake. The perfect amount of sweetness after a rich meal. Would very likely come again!

    Worst barbacoa tacos

    I wish I could give this place 0 stars, I asked for barbacoa tacos and they sent me super crispy tortillas and so little barbacoa. And the red salsa was spoiled. Never gonna order from this place again

    Ordered food for 3 people and it went into the garbage in less than a minute after delivery. The food was TERRIBLE. Flautas were like cardboard, enchilada mole was inedible, vegetable burrito had hair in it. All 3 dishes were thrown in garbage. Called them and they wanted to send more food but made by someone else. I refused, no way I can eat that glop. They were nice enough to have seamless refund my money after I called to complain. Picture is enchilada mole which was inedible. The only reason it got a big one star is because it wouldn't post this unless I selected one of them.

    Carne asada burrito.

    Delicious carne asada burrito and good service, will come back. Already craving another one, and it's only been four hours! Complimentary chips and salsa to start off with and huge water mugs are a plus.

    Cuban torta.

    I was honestly shocked by how much I loved this place! We did the tasting menu, which was $65 per…read moreperson, and I also ordered the passion fruit cocktail. It was fab! Most of all, what I really appreciated with every bite is that I wanted more and that it was so unique compared to anything else that I had ever tried. I thought the tasting menu was a really good deal, but you should also consider booking just a la carte because everything was so solid. You can tell when the chips served alongside the guacamole are so delicious and so unique that the rest of the meal is going to be incredible. I will say that it did seem slightly understaffed. Our waiters did the best they could, but dinner took longer than expected. It was still a great experience for both those on dates and those there with friends!

    4.5 stars, 5 for food and 4 for service…read more Food was delish! My favorites were the gem salad elote and the guac. We also got the crispy snapper taco and the duck to share. I loved all the sauces that they give to each table that I couldn't decide which one I liked more. The drinks were very good as well. We got the deconstructed margarita and I really enjoyed it as well as the pina colada cocktail. Service was a bit on the slower side but to be fair, there weren't many people working the tables. Also one of our dishes got served to the wrong table and then never came :( definitely wanna come back to try the tuna tartare which was the dish that didn't get delivered.
