Tasty food. Not a fan of their Sangria. Can be a bit pricey. Still, it was a good experience.

This place is a DT Placentia classic. We love their skirt steak salad. The main server Juan is always very attentive and quick to ensure we have everything we need to enjoy our evening.

It’s been years since I’ve been here but it’s my new favorite place. The fish taco special was epic and tasted so fresh. The Service was above and beyond and the restaurant has the most welcoming atmosphere. I can’t wait to come back!
