What People Say

Reviews on TripAdvisor and Opentable highlight the restaurant’s stunning interior design, which blends modern décor with warm, earthy touches. Diners rave about the authentic yet upscale dishes, especially the tacos, ceviche, and mole entrées. Cocktails—especially their mezcal options—get repeated praise.

Areas for Improvement

Some guests mention that prices can feel a bit steep for the portion sizes, especially during dinner service. A few diners noted longer wait times during busy nights, so making a reservation is a good idea if you're on a concert schedule. While the dress code isn't strict, the sleek atmosphere may feel less casual than expected by some.
