The menu was a little thin, it was rather pricy, the service was innattentive, and it was loud. I would not recommend.

Food was good. Service was also good. The bouncer/ security guard needs to understand the difference between San Pellagrino (water) and beer and how to approach someone about that. Vice gripping someone’s arm is definitely not a good look especially when water is involved.

6 of us on 3 separate bills sat near each other and were told that we all made to pay an additional 20% extra for... well, reasons. When pressed on this, our server couldn't come up with an explanation at all, saying, "Well, it's just what we do". Why? Where, geographically, does this invisible geographic line of denomination end? Would it apply if we sat 1 more foot away from the other parties? 2, perhaps? What if I came in with my wife and had 4 children? Would I be expected to pay an extra 20% for that too? Our ordering arrangement didn't constitute the kitchen bringing out anything all at once, as our 3 couple/3 bill ensemble ordered independently of each other. One couple just wanted some chips and a couple cocktails. Another wanted a couple apps and beer. One other waited and ordered up entrees. We were truly separate entities seated together and treated as such, which was the idea from the get-go and we were fine with. In any event, it would have been nice to know of this hidden charge pre-meal, instead of right when the server was presenting us with our bill. After-all, 1/3 of the restaurant was empty... there was absolutely no reason for this. We weren't a party of 6, we were 3 parties of 2 that had no inclination to be served together nor did we gobble up valuable seating real estate. Eh, whatever.As for service, I understand authenticity, and I totally get the whole diversity thing everybody is clamoring to use as a throwaway excuse for substandard expectations and behaviors, but at least invest enough time in your life and livelihood to be able to somewhat attempt to converse in the most basic of manners when given a customer facing service job. Anything short absolutely emboldens the push against $15+/hr wage demands and drags down the already bedraggled reputation the food and beverage service industry has earned itself through continued, fostered impertinence.As for the food. Well, it was alright for the most part. In terms of apps, many items seemed scant or overpriced. Chips were pulverized shards not suitable in size for dipping in the oddly mysterious (and unexplained) salsas, one of which was a literal bowl of oil they called macha - for those not in the know, salsa macha traditionally contains a small amount of oil, much like chili crisp does, but primarily stars a mash-up of toasted seeds and nuts as well, none of which were present in any of ours. While their huitlacoche empanaditas were a fantastic concept all-around, just wonderful. The pork belly app was underwhelming, and toritos were large and plentiful but utterly lackluster in flavor and richness, very one dimensional, floating in a mystery juice that would normally consists of a soy sauce mixture - we couldn't identify this ours through repeated tasting and ended up only eating half of what came out.Entrees were all over the board, with the infamous quesabirria being the power player and well-worth the price in all regards - although mine was pre-saturated with consommé to the point of not being able to pick it up without it falling apart and thusly I ended up having to eat it with a fork. Still delicious! The guy sitting next to me ordered the same thing, his was perfect and able to be handled and dipped as desired. Green chile enchiladas were loaded with cold, dry chicken, wrapped in stale-ish tortillas. The serrano/jalapeno sauce was rich, savory and absolutely drinkable, but weirdly, the sum was dry. Knowing all of this now, crapshooting an undersized $180 tomahawk will remain forever off-the-table.This place seems like a great dream being drug down by low-end mediocrity. With some simple modifications, fine-tuning of the menu, FOH processes, qualified staff selection and mandatory continued reeducation, this establishment could be the banger it sees itself as.Might reconsider returning sometime down the road if they really doubled down and put in the hard work required to stand out and rise above the rest of their industry peers.I really do wish them well.

This place has a really cool vibe, we went at 2:00 on a Sunday so it wasn't very busy. It just sounded really good. Randomly in the mood for a burger, and it's one of the best burgers I've ever had. The avocado and cheese. Crazy good. Service was also great.

Staff is super nice and happy to help. My issue is that there is no real plant based options. I appreciated that the chef did try to put something together, but it was very basic veggie fajitas. Honestly, plant based options can be made quite appealing and part of a regular menu, especially in a Mexican restaurant (speaking as a mexican).Their home made salsa is very good, as well as their home made mezcal.

We stopped by and sat the bar. Ali served us some excellent drinks, and we ordered appetizers. Rico!

Went there on a busy night. The bartender was on top of responses to everyone in his area. Seeing the teamwork on a busy night was encouraging. The price is a little higher than expected, but the quantity of meat was matching, so I'd say it was good value. The drinks are good, but the menu needs to be updated since they've changed what they do now.
