Well lets start from the beginning. Parking lot right next to the building but you have to pay. When you walk in the restaurant its a little dark but lite up with lights all around it. Up beat music is always going which gives it a chill vibe. The waiter was super nice and give us recommendations on the food and drinks since it was our first time there. We both got tacos and a drink I don't remember what it was called but we both liked it. If you are looking for a chill vibe and Latin American food I would try this place out.

My husband and I walked here with our baby from the aquarium for dinner. We arrived at 5pm on Monday and we were seated immediately. Service was quick and friendly. The menu looked good and prices are high but comparable for the area. We both got pina coladas which were served in fun pineapple cups, they were delicious and they definitely didn’t skip on rum for such a pricey drink. I got the fish tacos which tasted so fresh and delicious, the fish was fried to perfection and the slaw and spicy crema complimented perfectly. My only critique would be to add more crema or have some on the side. The spicy charro beans that came with the tacos were great as well, very savory. My husband got the tilapia and said it was really good, though he would have preferred a blackened tilapia (personal preference) but he’d still get it again. Also, he said the mango salsa that came with it was the best he’s had! For dessert we got the platanos with mole which was good, but not our cup of tea, so we probably wouldn’t get it again. Overall, though, this place was so good, everything tasted so fresh and left us feeling full and energized. We can’t wait to come back again and try more.

We were introduced to this place last year in January and we just visited for the third time. I have ordered something different each time but my husband has only had the hanger steak. Last night I ordered that as well and OH MY WOW. I had only ever had small bites of his and I am so happy I got my own! Besides being consistently good food, the service is equally top notch. Since I am horrible with names but recognize faces, I knew our server was the same as our visit from last May. He was nice, checked on us just the right amount, and very knowledgeable. The atmosphere was so great too. The lights are dimmed but not so much you feel like you are in a power outage like some places and there is background music that adds to the atmosphere but you aren't yelling over it. We sat in one of the high-backed booths and were able to have a conversation and feel like we weren't intruding upon anyone in the other side's conversation. We will definitely be returning to this wonderful place. Highly recommend!

The food, service, and ambiance was excellent!! 10/10 experience. The menu was a bit pricey but the portions are large so you could split a meal or take leftovers for the next day. I loved the ceviche!
