My friend and I enjoyed our meal here.
Nice menu selection, and the food was beautifully prepared and delicious.
The vibe of the restaurant was eclectic and fun.
They were short on wait staff, so we had to order at the counter, and it took a bit of time to get our check.
But all was good.

This was my second time dining here and the food was excellent.
I had the Empanadas Poblanas.
The red sauce was quite spicy but so flavorful and delicious.
I wasn’t sure if the 2 empanadas would be filling enough but they were.
My husband had the Mextlapique and also really enjoyed it.
It was a nice day so we sat outside although the atmosphere inside is also great so if you don’t get a spot outside you won’t be disappointed.
We arrived about 6:30 on a Monday and didn’t have to wait.
It was much busier when we left around 7:45 but I still don’t think there was a wait.
The only downside to eating outside is that cars park right next to you so if you’re not comfortable with people coming and going right by you then I recommend sitting inside.

Had dinner here on a cold evening and it was perfectly cozy.
I had the horchata, tostada and tres leches cake for dessert, which were all really yummy and not too heavy.
Portion sizes were generous as well :)
