    The chorizo was really good especially with that chipotle(?) sauce
    Sim L.

    I really wanted to get something to eat from El Atoradero a block away but my friend wanted drinks so we came to this relatively new Mexican spot. It was almost empty when I walked in but the place looks pretty good for Southern Blvd. This place wouldn't look out of place at all in Hell's Kitchen or on 2nd Ave. The good thing is that they have some large flavored margaritas that had a good amount of tequila inside. The chorizo was pretty good too, but I was definitely disappointed with the sopes. It was the closest thing to a picadita rellena on their menu but it didn't taste anything like it. The service was good too but it had better be since we ended up being the only people in there. I guess I'd come back for drinks with friends if I wanted to stay local, but I wouldn't suggest this as a place to go hang out.

    Their buffalo wings seasoned well and it was spicy but good ! Piña colada was good too! Highly recommend!

    Been coming here for ever five years. We first started coming here for their $5 flavored margaritas, of course that's no longer the case but I'm still loyal to this place because their food is awesome. I've basically tried everything and their menu and it's amazing.

    Prices are mazonf, they give you a lot of food without having to spend to much. For the price it has the flavor is good enough

    This spot has become one of those places I genuinely look forward to returning to again and again…read more Every visit feels easy and welcoming the moment you step inside. The team here knows how to make you feel taken care of without ever being overbearing--just warm, attentive hospitality that sets the tone for a great meal. The menu is full of dishes that feel thoughtfully prepared, and everything I've tried has been consistently flavorful. The lamb entrées are outstanding--tender, perfectly seasoned, and incredibly satisfying. Their steaks are just as impressive, cooked beautifully and full of rich flavor. It's the kind of food that makes you slow down and enjoy every bite.What really stands out, though, is the atmosphere. It strikes that perfect balance between relaxed and elevated, making it ideal for a cozy dinner, a laid-back evening with friends, or even a casual drink at the end of the day. There's a lot of intention in the details--lighting, décor, textures--which creates a space that feels both comfortable and polished without trying too hard. Every time I leave, I'm reminded why this has become a favorite. Great food, genuinely kind service, and an environment that makes you want to stay a little longer. Absolutely a place worth recommending, and one I'm always happy to return to. 5/5.

The food was good but the Turffle Fries tasted oily. The calamari, shrimp and friend cauliflower was seasoned. The drinks ok, had to ask for a shot extra to taste the liquor. The service was good. They came to check on us, making sure everything was satisfactory. Over, all we had a great time. I do recommend and will be back. It's a cute restaurant in the cut.

It's a cute little basement bar with some tables along with a bar top to sit and a cozy little area in the back to sit at if you're with a couple of friends wanting to celebrate something or just to hangout. You see to my surprise they told me they no longer serve sushi and that they changed the whole concept of the place and the menu. I was a little disappointed but I decided I was there already so I would work with what they had to offer. I saw they had a decent happy hour menu, but I decided to order a drink that was not on the Happy Hour menu. Their version of a Lychee Martini. It was strong and flavorful, but very refreshing. For my tapas options I went with some Arancini and Zucchini flowers. I didn't want too much to eat after having such a huge breakfast. The arancini was flavorless but really good with the marinara sauce it came with, and to my surprise the zucchini flowers were amazing. It was piping hot, crispy with the most intense cheese pull, served with some spicy sauce and marinara as well. I went back and forth with dipping them into each condiment. I told the guy who took my order and served me that they should bottle that marinara, it was delicious. I don't know how this place use to be but I'm interested in returning for another visit because I was definitely feeling the whole vibe of the place along with the food. I think it might be a good place to visit for the whole Happy Hour of it all. Thumbs up and Happy Yelping!
