It was our first time here and we already can’t wait to come back. We ordered the Pulpo Miso Negro & Chilmole and it was absolutely delicious, so flavorful and perfectly cooked. The drinks were amazing too, especially the cocktail with Japanese whiskey.
The atmosphere was beautiful, the staff was super friendly, and overall it was such a great experience. Definitely a spot worth trying!

100/10 dining experience. We sat at the bar and lucked out by being sat at the two seats facing the chef. We had the absolute best time with Chef Fernando. We ordered one of everything on the menu, including tacos from the truck outside. The lengua tacos were the best we’ve ever had and we highly recommend the tuna dish, octopus, and mushrooms. Of course we had to pair it all with plenty of mezcal cocktails and a mezcal flight. If you like unique Mexican dishes and feeling like you’ve been transported to Mexico City, you have to go here. We highly recommend getting a seat to have Fernando curate your experience. We also can’t leave out the fact that they have a vinyl DJ spinning records to make the best vibe. This is one of our new favorite spots in Denver.

Intimate and quirky. Menu is almost perfect, and the flavors are particularly inspired. Learned a bunch of food words and even more about myself. Vinyl spun warm and crackly. Mezcal flowed abundantly from the ceiling. All thr beats, drinks, and bites just kept on coming. Felt like my friend traveled the world and showed me how he became a master chef. Take it all in.

We planned on coming in, but I can’t imagine how anyone can walk past the delicious smell of their food truck without stopping in. The staff is extremely friendly and welcoming. There is a small menu, and it was so good that I wish we had tried every item. Refreshing drinks and perfectly selected music to set the vibe. Street parking available.

I went there to see my DJ friend performing only to encounter some of the rudest managers I have ever seen. We were a group of 20+ people, we weren't being obnoxious or loud, but the manager seemed very upset the whole time over the music, when there was nobody else in the restaurant, and they knew in advance how many people would be attending.
They finally ended up kicking us out saying they had reservations coming, but I walked past by it some minutes later and it was still completely empty.
