This is our special holiday meal. It's just such an amazing experience. The decor is captivating. Th wait staff is exceptional. And the food is so good. We started with the queso fundido (with extra corn tortillas), 2 of us shared the whole dish and a nopales salad and sweet potatoes- every bite was delicious. One person had another fish dish that was both delicate and rich. And the 4th person in our group had the chicken enchiladas mole - it was hard not to lick the plate. We shared the caramel crepes and tres leches cake for dessert. Rich and delicious.
Went here for a birthday dinner, was pleasantly surprised by the great service and good tasting food! We arrived late at night, there was complimentary valet service as well as a parking lot next door which we utilized. The waitress was very attentive making sure all our needs were met so we didn’t feel rushed whatsoever to leave our table, like some other restaurants. The duck enchiladas were very very good, highly recommend getting it. The queso fundido was fun to eat as well — I preferred the flour tortilla over the corn. The staple chips and salsa were nice but the green was better than the red, try mixing them for a nice combination. The Chile relleno was ok but I preferred the duck enchiladas so much more.
What a wonderful meal on so many levels! The wagu beed al carbon tacos melt in your mouth. The cauliflower tacos were as delicious as they were beautiful. The trees leches came with a scoop of mango sorbet. Then the ambiance was every bit as good as the food. My wife declared this restaurant as our new celebration restaurant.
We went here for a birthday dinner and had a great dining experience. As a vegetarian, I wasn’t blown away by the limited vegetarian/vegan options on the menu, but the great service was what made it a 5⭐️ meal. The ambience was lovely, right from the entry doorway, to the antechamber and the main dining spaces (we sat in the central space, but there were two other spaces as well). The menu is quite pricy, however it was great to see that reflected in the service as well - our server (Jennifer?) was attentive and polite, and also packed up our food for us after the meal. For drinks we got margaritas - one with lemon and another with watermelon: both tasted great (we’re also quite potent). The queso fundido was melty and delicious - served with corn and flour mini tortillas, the corn tortillas were very good. The sweet potato was actually the best tasting item (we ordered it based on an Instagram reel): perfectly steamed and pan fried. The chipotle shrimp dish was good. The vegetable enchiladas were also decent but nothing great. As it was a birthday meal, the très leches we ordered came with a greeting (not complimentary though) - it was great with mango and mint. It was served with a mango sorbet with granita which was a little strange in its flavor. Overall this was a great restaurant for a special dinner.
Awesome atmosphere, great service including free valet parking. The margaritas are STRONG! Food is super flavorful and the tortillas are all made fresh in house. We loved the entire meal and highly recommend. Just don’t eat lunch so you can have proper space for all the heavy Mexican food.
