What People Say

Guests rave about the creative Mexican fusion dishes, like birria tacos and truffle street corn, as well as the colorful atmosphere and attentive staff. Reviewers on OpenTable and TripAdvisor consistently praise the “fun vibe,” “great drinks,” and “fast service even when it's busy.” The guacamole sampler is a house favorite, and many note it’s a perfect place to start your night before heading to a show.

Areas for Improvement

While the high-energy vibe is part of the charm, it can get loud during peak times, which might not be ideal for those looking for a quiet meal. Some diners mention wait times on weekends, so reservations or arriving early are recommended if you’re on a tight concert schedule.
