I loved this restaurant, & we will definitely be back! We went with three friends, & the servers were incredibly friendly. We were sitting on the terrace, & when it started looking like it might rain, they kindly suggested that we move inside.

The mocktails were delicious. We ordered an appetizer & tacos, & the food was really tasty. Later, they told us we could play a game & win prizes, & we ended up winning churros & tequila shots!

The churros were especially good. They were not too sweet, not heavy, & not greasy. They were just perfect.

Went for the tacos Al pastor, what they served as tacos Al pastor was shredded pork in a al pastor sauce. Beer was good & so was the service & atmosphere.

The menu is now a QR code to scan for digital menu, so the pics of physical menus are no longer valid.
