The food was decent and the vibes were cool, but the prices are a bit steep for the portion sizes. Two small tacos for ~$20 is taking the piss. Even on Tuesday for $14 they felt underwhelmingly small- any grown adult would need at least four to feel full. It also took over an hour for the food to come out from the time we sat down, which didn’t help. Dessert was excellent though. And I think we can all agree the happy birthday clapping is a bit much, it happened three times while we were there. Feel for the staff lol. Overall I wouldnt go back on my own accord but if someone invited me back Id not make a fuss.

Saturday - no DJ. When asked they said there isn't one in January, never saw anything at all to tell you this. The food and drinks were amazing and the staff were great but it wasn't as pumping as expected. Music was very low background considering it was a Saturday late booking. I would go again but on an event night but will make sure it's definitely on. Will recommend for food.

Booked a Thursday night and ended up in a game of music bingo! Didn't know it was on but was such a laugh. The happy hour cocktails helped🤣 Food was great. Will be back!

The staff are the highlight of the night. Outwardly friendly, knowledgeable of specials and dishes. Respectful to not over serve the table; clearing, fresh drinks or deserts requests. The food was some of the best I’ve had from a Mexican restaurant in forever. My pint glass had a small chip in the rim and they changed it quickly with no hesitation. When we were there the place was almost at capacity so the atmosphere was up there. Thank you for such a great night, definitely will be back again.
