Drinks were good but took quite awhile service was good but slow they were very busy but seemed understaffed Flavour of ceviche was good the hominy soup was bland broth was very tasteless fish tacos were good

The drinks and service are great. The ambiance is pretty good also. Unfortunately the food leaves something to be desired. Here's what I had: caesar salad (the dressing had great flavor, but they globbed on so much I ended up with a mouthful of salad dressing on limp lettuce) and my entree was chicken mole poblano (the chicken was cooked properly and the presentation was decent, but the cilantro rice was cold and the mole sauce was lacking in flavor, was thin and a bit watery). It was disappointing. I paid $50 for food, just for myself, it should've been awesome, delicious, and memorable. It was not, it was mediocre at best, and I will not be back.

Beautiful food, clearly made with such skill and care. When it comes to upper scale dining, this is such a refreshing change of pace from many of the more corporate-group restaurants in town.

I was so hopeful that I would have an awesome experience that I came here for my birthday. When we walked in there were some folks in the bar however the restaurant side only had one table full. We waited about 4 minutes before anyone greeted us. When seated we did get water immediately and got menus. We placed an appetizer order at the same time they took the drink order (had a feeling that things may be a bit slow) it took 35 minutes to get a ceviche appetizer- way too long. The waitress came by and said it would be coming soon-it did about 10 minutes later. During this time of waiting another couple was seated. No on waited on them after getting water for an extended period, so they stomped out. We ordered a skirt steak and the Camarones ala Diabla. The restaurant started to fill up. Another 30 minutes passed before getting our meals. The meals tasted really good, and were plated well, however they were moderately warm. The staff was friendly, they wished me a happy birthday and provided a free desert. This place has tons of potential-they seem, like so many places to be short staffed, both in the up front area and the kitchen. Maybe this was an off night, I hope it is not a trend.

I loved this place! I had the carne asada a la tampiquena 1939 and it was delicious! The steak was very tender and flavorful. Everything on the plate was delicious. I had the Oaxacan margarita which I also loved! First time there and I was impressed. I will be back!

Very interesting menu - traditional food for pre-Hispanic Mexico with a modern twist. Flavors and spices were well done. Salmon was moist and tender with a great sauce, olives and capers. The broth in the seafood soup was fabulous. Good tequila and mescal cocktails.

Had the fish stew which has a heated rock put in it at the table! Impressive! Lots of fish, shrimp in tangy sauce.

Overall not great, food portions were extremely small for the price you paid, under seasoned and over cooked/ burnt meat. Drinks were average and not worth the price. So many other Mexican restaurants you could eat at for half the money with 10 times the amount of flavor: wouldn't recommend.

We came and had margaritas and dinner. It is not your traditional Mexican restaurant menu, go to Cinco de Mayo if that's what you're looking for. It has a modern twist on more traditional Mexican cuisine. We really enjoyed our food and drinks and had a great server as well!

The food was good, but they did forget one of our entrees, and we had to wait a very long time for our server to check back in about drink refills and water refills. Will definitely try again though.

Our service was our right terrible. Our food was delivered cold. Our water was refilled one time in the over 2 hour span we were there. Dishes were never removed from being stacked in front of me until our next course arrived. && even though we wanted dessert, we refused as we had been patient enough, spent a lot && our service was aweful.

Had a hard time getting our server to come to our table much. It was a busy night. My enchiladas rojas were not as good as usual - chicken was very dry. I ate them anyway because I didn't want to wait to get the attention of our server.
