    The ambience, food and service are all great. The carne asada tacos and guacamole are outstanding. We liked that it’s not the Mexican food that people are used to in Colorado. They rely on great natural flavors and not a bunch of cheese and sauce. All in all a great experience and we will return.

    Beautiful, high end experience and ambiance. Perfect price point. Their food is pretty authentic and comes with a nice presentation. They were super accommodating when I needed to change my reservation time.

    We tried this restaurant for the first time last night to celebrate our 29th anniversary. Unfortunately, the evening fell far short of what we had hoped would be a special experience. I had thoughtfully included our anniversary in the OpenTable notes, yet it was never acknowledged when we arrived or at any point during the meal. More importantly, the service throughout the evening was noticeably inattentive. Plates were cleared while we were still eating, but fresh plates were not brought, leaving us with food sitting and getting cold. We asked for new plates which were eventually brought out with forks, no knives. We repeatedly felt as though our table was an afterthought. The irony is that the food was very good. That made the disappointing service even more frustrating because the restaurant has the potential to be a place we would love to return to. It’s incredibly convenient for us, which makes this experience particularly unfortunate. We don’t expect extravagant treatment simply because we were celebrating an anniversary, but we do expect attentive, thoughtful service-especially at a restaurant of this caliber. A special occasion should feel special, and unfortunately, ours didn’t. I hope the management takes this feedback seriously. With stronger attention to hospitality and service, this could easily become a neighborhood favorite. As it stands, though, our first impression was disappointing enough that we won’t be rushing back.

    Met expectations with tasty Mexican cuisine and some good drinks, but blinding sun coming into the windows throughout the duration of our meal was obnoxious and the bathroom had no soap. Interior was nicely done and the large tree decor overhead was a great touch. Would consider trying again one day at a time of day when the setting sun wouldn’t be as much an issue.

    The soundproofing is poor and needs to improve. Wines are too expensive for the quality and not enough options by the glass. Food was excellent and service was very good.
