I was supposed to visit this spot a while back, but life (& a power outage) had other plans. Shoutout to the staff though they kept us updated the whole time, so we weren't left hanging. Finally made it here with my partner after hearing all the online hype, & let me just say… it was worth the wait.
The place is super cozy, you can eat inside or enjoy the terrasse like you're in a little foodie vlog. I'm pescatarian, & since shrimp wasn't available, the chef whipped up a vegetarian plate for me (promised me shrimp next time... so basically I have a delicious reason to come back 👀). The apps were on point (no corn, but plenty of tasty options).
My partner, who eats meat, was living his best life. Drinks were amazing too though I did catch myself wishing the glasses were bigger because… hello, hydration! 🍹😂
It feels like a family business, which we love ❤? warm vibes, friendly waiter with great recommendations, & just overall welcoming energy. Bonus: it's right next to a dep, so you can grab a little'after dinner something' if you're still feeling snacky.
Definitely going back. Next round, I'm coming for that shrimp. 🦐🔥
We showed up early, around 4:30. There were not too many people there yet. We ordered our drinks, appetizer, & food all at once. Drinks were good & served quickly. Guacamole & chips took a while to come out. Guacamole was very tasty but the chips had a lime seasoning that was very sour & overpowering. Steak fajitas were super chewy & bland. The birria tacos were pretty tasty. It was disappointing that the menu online was not the menu we were presented - lots of stuff missing that we wanted to try instead. We asked for a side of rice, but the waiter informed us that they didn't have time to make any today… service wasn't terrible.. I imagine when it's busy it will take even longer to get your food. I had called earlier in the day to make reservations since their website is awful, & nobody ever called me back to confirm.
