I ordered take out. The carnitas salad was really good and the plantains were some of the best I've had anywhere. The margarita was really good too.

Just wow.....really good food! Servers are really fun and upbeat. I've never experienced a busy time but I can see it getting busy at peak hours. Definitely will return.

Came here for brunch and had the Cafe De Olla (coffee) which was absolutely delicious flavors of cinnamon orange and cloves! Then had the El Benedicto which is a Mexican spin on eggs benedict and it was fantastic! Portion wise didn't look all that impressive but it was very filling and satisfying, came with a very tasty and fresh salad!

Very authentic food. Presented very beautifully. Delicious. It’s a place where you order at the counter and they bring the food to you. Indoor and outdoor seating.

This place is such a vibe! I love the decor with all the color and art! Also, it’s GINORMOUS, probably great for events! When I was walking down the block looking for the entrance, I was like omgg… so much outdoor seating - i definitely want to try it again in the summer. We came for lunch, around noon - one other couple in there besides us. For food, we started with the queso fundido, which you can order plain or with squash or with chorizo. I ordered plain and with a side of chips (you need something else because it only comes with 3 small tortillas). Plain still has some stuff in it, like onions, tomatoes, and my personal not favorite, jalapeños… so a spicy bite of that killed it for me (if they say it’s plain, it should be plain). Such a bummer. We also had a hard time getting a side of chips with the queso fundido, because they said they won’t do that - just the $15 chips and salsa, but we didn’t want a whole other app. They eventually brought us a small bowl of chips. The carnitas-stuffed avocado salad was SOOO good and HUGE. I could only eat about half of it. The tacos were tasty… but 3 of them with rice and beans for $26 (for lunch) seemed quite overpriced. Like I said, one appetizer, tacos (with rice and beans), and a salad and the bill was $75… way too much especially for an empty restaurant at lunchtime IMO. I’d come back for drinks because I like the vibe so much!
