This restaurant and bar showcases an impressive collection of tequila, with shelves of colorful bottles lining the walls and even the ceiling—an atmosphere designed to immerse you in the spirit long before the first drink arrives. The cocktail program naturally leans toward tequila and mezcal. While not boundary-pushing enough to compete with award-winning bars, the drinks are well made and offer thoughtful, appealing flavor profiles. Service was initially discouraging; we waited more than 30 minutes for food. But once the dishes arrived, the kitchen quickly redeemed the experience. Highlights included the aguachile de camarón, the short rib poblano, and the arroz a la tumbada—each vibrant, spicy, and deeply seasoned. One disappointment lingered: a guacamole listed at $22, a price neither stated on the menu nor easily justified. The server’s attempt to explain it by citing avocado costs of $3–5 apiece felt unconvincing, especially given that even retail prices fall below that range. Still, despite a few missteps, the restaurant delivers strong flavors and a memorable setting for anyone drawn to agave spirits.
I was pleasantly surprised by how quiet the restaurant was during my visit—perhaps it was dinner time, or maybe the prices are a bit higher than average. Either way, it worked out perfectly for me. The food and service were truly exceptional, and I can confidently say you won’t be disappointed. The Milo Don Julio was outstanding, and the portions were incredibly generous—I couldn’t even finish my meal! I also tried the quesadilla de flor de calabaza, which had a unique presentation, more like an empanada, but it was absolutely delicious. I would love to come back and try their lunch menu next time. This place is truly a hidden gem worth revisiting.
Oh my. A Chili Relleno that bursted with tender steak, peanuts and seasonings that had me wanting to lick my plate! A perfect Tequila Mojito to wash it down and our attentive and friendly server Alberto made this special girls night out perfect. A very intimate and cool spot. Highly recommend.
The service was great, and we went around noon when it wasn’t too busy. Still, it took a little while for the food to come out. The flavors were decent overall, though the grilled octopus was a bit overcooked and slightly bitter. Otherwise, a nice spot for lunch with friendly service.
Parking is a little tight, but very worth it. They had a veranda open for dining when we were there and the view and breeze made for a great atmosphere. We ordered three entrees and an appetizer. Everything was outstanding. Just go, and maybe stop in downstairs for a rare tequila to go.
