Ambiance (5/5): The exterior and interior walls are covered in mural art! It is eye catching and a nod to art. The wall décor, ceiling, sides, bar table, everything was thought out and brings a vibrant energy to the establishment. The dining experience on a Friday night was almost too bright inside, but the background latino music was a nice addition to the energy. Hookha was available as we noticed one a few tables away. Apparently on Saturday nights, they hire a DJ; excited to visit again to see how the vibe changes. Service (5/5): Our party dined close to 9pm so there was no the usual dinner rush but almost all the tables in the front dining area were occupied. We were attended to often and our server, Celia, was such a sweet gal who served us with courtesy. Cocktails: The cocktails here are artisan with unique cups or presentations (such as dry ice!) I definitely want to return to try some. Food: The food was really unique and presentation was amazing. It was also very affordable for the portion size! Elote Corn (5/5): The presentation was awesome with a lid that was burned with a butane torch to give the corn a smoky taste! The corn was made with a blend of cheese, mayo, and spices that really provided a wonderful taste. Unfortunately, a bit too salty though. Lamb Shank (4/5): The lamb portion was insane! The meat was definitely tender but the outer most layer was overcooked--charred and dry. Only the inner parts near the bone were tasty. The sauce to drizzle on top provided an additional moisture and flavor to it. The sautéed mushrooms were flavorful. Steak Burrito (4/5): The cuts of the steak were slightly cooked to well-done. The burrito is much preferred over their taco plates due to the portion size. The sauce is where this dish exceled!! The sesame mayo sauce was FIRE, really flavorful and unique. I would recommend getting this as a side on it's own for whatever you order. Al Pastor Tacos (N/A): I tried only a bite of the pork which was flavored beautifully but the dish requires a cut of meat with some more fat to it. The meat fell flat with it being more dry because of the cut. FREE on the house tequila at the end of the meal!
