Very bad tasting food, I returned my tuna tacos cause it smelled funny, the hermanos pollos tasted like microwaved fried chicken from the day before, we tried literally 5 different plates & none was great. The waitress was great but we left disappointed & never again.

Franchement ça aurait pu être un cinq étoiles si je n'avais pas retrouvé une fourmi grillée sur mon tacos car le service est sympa, la terasse cool & la nourriture bonne.

El servicio estuvo ok. La comida MUY decepcionante. Los tacos birria, no sabían para nada a Birria. Parecía una salsa de pizza, horrible. No volveré. Cuando le dije al mesero, no dijo nada e ignoró por completo mi comentario.

I'm Mexican & today is my birthday. I couldn't have found a better place to celebrate. Karla greeted me very politely & her service was excellent, so polite & friendly. Then the tacos al pastor & alambre were delicious-kudos to the chef! & the michelada I ordered was very good. I'm delighted with the place; the food, the cleanliness, & the decor are excellent.
