Came here for a second time and it was just as amazing! Our server Brittney was great and very attentive. The zarandeado fish with the refried beans on the side was the star of the show. We also really enjoy the jollita tostada and taco dumbo. The tamarindo paloma was strong but tasty. Can’t wait to come back and introduce more people to enjoy this food!

My recommendation is the tuna tostada to start. This is a chic and elevated dining experience, yet welcoming and family friendly. Will return,…

Delicious and authentic Mexican cuisine, loved the Zarandeado Fish (Mexican style Grill), the Taco Leo and Lorenza are crazy delicious! Beautiful atmosphere and design. The Manager (Emilio) and staff are incredible. Great suggestions by Emilio and the waiters!

One of the best dining experiences I’ve had this year. The fish is very fresh and the Village Catch was an 11/10.

The atmosphere was lively and welcoming. The decor is very enjoyable and has an energy of its own. Carlos was very professional and personable. He explained the menu very well and was very…
