My partner and I arrived with empty stomachs and thought we could annihilate an appetizer and two mains but we were very quickly proven wrong. The nachos (we got pork) were so packed with meat and toppings that halfway through we knew it was over. Each bite was perfection though and it was so worth it. We also ordered a steak torta and some quesadillas. The steak torta was pretty average tasting to me, and the cuts of steak were definitely different than I'm used to. I appreciated it came with a side of fries, but that honestly wasn't even necessary. The quesadillas were excellent and reminded me of what you'd get in Oaxaca! The cheese pull goes crazy too. We also ordered a horchata and I was also pretty disappointed in this. I'm not sure exactly why but it just wasn't hitting the spot for me. And trust me, I love horchatas. Overall this place is a really good option if you're looking for some tasty Mexican food. It's super close to the Blue Line, the wait staff are incredibly nice and accommodating, and the ambience inside the restaurant is great too.

But compared to Mexican I've had elsewhere, it was a bit underwhelming to me. My friends and I tried a variety of tacos and bowls and all felt the same. Sounds like birria woulda been the move. The restaurant itself was pretty small and crowded, despite coming between lunch and dinner, so we turned it into a picnic. Not much to say in terms of service, but the staff seemed kind. I'd be down to give them another chance to impress me!

They finally expanded their menu and you gotta get either a rice bowl or nachos to go with your meal! I love how crunchy the nachos with. The queso blanco paired so well with it but you have to add some of the corn elote for that perfect bite! My favorite tacos so far are the Calamari on Squid Ink Tortilla and the Chorizo on Squid Ink Tortilla. If you are in the area, you should stop by here for a quick bite!

This cantina tucked right in the lanes while walking towards North End has a great connectivity to the T-station and downtown area. the I entered, and the live music impressed me. The whole vibe of the golf to keep engaged was fantastic. Talking about food and the service, it disappointed me to the core. For god sake, who on earth forgets my guac order and when trying to see a server, we get to see no one for at least 30 minutes. The sweet potato taco and the corn dip were decent, but the service was something I would recommend getting in check. And again, for paying for our check, we waited for over 15 minutes, when the restaurant wasn't too busy. It ruined my whole experience.

When a full-on DJ came on around 8pm, I was definitely caught off guard, but it added to the energy. My only issue was the waiting system. Putting your name on a list while people monopolize the bar isn't ideal, but we made the most of it. We were quoted a 30-minute wait and did have to apply a little pressure to finally get seated. While waiting, I grabbed margaritas at the bar, and wow--the bartenders are extremely talented. They freshly squeezed the limes and handcrafted each drink. Very professional, and honestly the best margaritas I've had in the States. The food was rockstar-level, and the menu is very price-friendly. One thing to note: you have to order everything at once, so keep that in mind. Once the food hits the table, you likely won't see your server again until the bill. That said, the ceviche was top-tier, and the Korean beef bowl was splendid. Do not skip the plantains with the cilantro sauce on the side you won't be disappointed! Overall, this is a great date-night spot. Expect a wait, but it's well worth it.

If you're into bold flavors and a solid, filling meal, this place definitely hits every time.
