Had a wonderful experience here, took advantage of their happy hour and had a medley of craft cocktails. Highly recommend the grilled octopus!

Truly some of the best service. The food was incredible. Waitress was super attentive and the hostess was super communicative about our table and shared complimentary champagne while we waited.

Nice drinks but I never got my food when everyone else at my table was served. Would not recommend it if you are looking to eat here. Drinks were very nice but not enough to make up for the terrible service.

Service: We arrived at our valentines dinner at our appointment time. We sat there for about 20 minutes until our waitress finally came prior to that Karina asked us if we've been helped yet and she went looking for our waitress who ended up being Vanessa. She was surprised when we wanted to place our order after waiting so long. Every time we ordered something with her she didn't care to look at what I was talking about she thought she was right about everything. She had an attitude and everything took forever for her to bring. We ordered drinks and she brought them after our food to go and everything had been given to us when everyone else around us was getting their drinks right away. It's valentine's a special dinner so a 20% gratuity fee was applied automatically when she was undeserving of that amount.Food: The food was decent besides the tortillas on the enchiladas feeling like they were t ever cooked. My husband's Long Island seemed to not have alcohol added to it.I'm a bit disappointed since I wanted to go her for so long and it didn't turn out how I anticipated. However I noticed that the manager he does go around making sure everyone is ok etc

Food and price were good but there was hidden gratuity fee of 20% of your check. So I had tipped without knowing about the gratuity fee therefore leaving about 60 dollars in gratuity alone :(

My friend invited us for brunch he made reservations, but when we got there, they said we could sit outside because they didn't have anything available inside.Since we were there already, we decided to stay.The server was friendly, but the food was not that great for the price. My friend had bottomless mimosas, but he only had two because it took forever for the server to come back they never refilled our water glasses.We were having a good time when all of a sudden the server told us that we had 5 minutes because they had a reservation coming for that table .That was really rude.

Can’t say enough good things about this place. We found it by chance after a Disneyland trip. Josue helped us out, he was an amazing server and the food we ordered was DELICIOUS! We were a big group and ordered a variety of things and they do. not. MISS! Thank you for accommodating us so late!

Service was not great, felt like our server was on snooze, we were celebrating a birthday that was noted at the time of the reservation but there was zero acknowledgment, the bathrooms were dirty throughout the night. I was looking forward to this place but the overall it was underwhelming the food was more on the plain side not memorable at all; the one item we did like was the buñuelo dessert not enough to make us come back, we were a group of 9 people and we all felt the same way.

Wow, what a find. Just happened to walk by and stopped in for what we thought would be a typical Mexican meal. This was anything but! We got the 3 fish tacos and the enchilada trio and shared. Each enchilada, mole with beef, shrimp and chicken suizas may have shared a plate, but each had its own distinct flavor and each was incredibly delicious! Same with the fish tacos, not your average fish tacos, 3 steps above. Even the soft tortillas tasted homemade. Our server, Josue, was attentive and offered great suggestions as we were first timers here. We will definitely be back.
