Ambiance was great as well as service. However, I don’t personally believe the food was the best. We had the al pastor and gobernador tacos; felt like they needed “that extra kick.” Saw many great reviews about the empanadas; they were mid! Drinks were decent. Our favorite was the tamarind one. Dessert! The churros looked great, but again, not impressed. Overall, just an okay place. Would we be back? Probably just for the drinks and awesome service!
