This is a hidden gem. I live close by and had never been here before. I celebrated my birthday with pitchers of margaritas that were perfect. The food was delicious but would benefit from more options. The mole enchiladas were delicious. The flan was also delicious. I will come again.

Fantastic service, great food & drinks. My guests commented that their skinny margaritas are the best that they've tasted so far. It was a perfect ratio and balance of the ingredients. Witch water was extremely beautiful, tasty, and strong; hence the name. Awesome & fresh salsa trio, fish taco, lobster & steak taco, Al Pastor, Campichano, Quesabirria were all at elevated levels. The ambiance of the restaurant is easy going and classy. You can have a business meeting here, bring a date, or bring friends to dine indoor or outdoor.

Fresh ingredients, authentic and home cooked traditional dishes, but also some creative takes on things like carne asada and black beans. Incredible food. Balanced not too sweet cocktails. And the elote!! Sweet fresh corn and secret sauce. We’re going back.

Cold food, 30 minutes for drinks. Staff forgot about us multiple times. The lunch took over two hour from start to finish. The host ordered appetizers were didn’t ask for. It looked like staff were quiting mid-shift. Horrible experience.
