    Had the mole chicken. Presentation was beautiful and dish was delicious. Mole was on the spicy side which was fine by me. Had to ask for chips and salsa several times before they finally came. Husband ordered the cheese quesadilla and it was very good. Tasted like comfort food. Margaritas were good. I complain about this at every restaurant who serves fake crab. Customer shouldn’t have to ask. It should be listed on the menu as “imitation crab” rather as just crab. Waiter wasn’t sure and had to go ask. Another pet peeve. Waiter should know the menu. Interesting place. Trendy . A little on the loud side and video choices aren’t exactly “family friendly” even though we were there at 6:00 pm. Will probably return for more chicken mole.

    Sunday for mimosas and breakfast buffet . Getting napkins was the biggest challenge. Chilaquilles line was long . Menudo was awesome and the mimosas came out slowly.

    First time here! We were welcomed by the manager Ivan! Who was very attentive and friendly. Sat us quickly. He was not our waiter, but he definitely did very good job till our waiter arrived. He was an ok waiter needed a few reminders- I asked for two boxes, got one, we asked for a beer and lemons and only got the beer… However despite that he did check in with us frequently! So no harm. So I had beer my friend she had mixed drink and she said it was tasty and could taste the alcohol. We order tacos and queso fundido ! The tacos Gobernador were delicious three big tacos full of shrimp ! , she had carne asada tacos and they were also loaded with meat and she said they were really good! The vibe was vibrant! Dark but with cool Lightning! Big huge screen with music videos playing. The music was great, reminded us of our party days in TJ , just much much much cleaner and no sticky floors! This was a Wednesday! And there was families with kids, a birthday party people at the bar! It was dope. Ivan said that they have a DJ on Saturdays and I think he said Fridays too! Either way i definitely would want to go back and the price was good! 4 drinks /three plates of food under $120.

    I recommend this place if you are okay with being yelled at by what seemed to be a manager type of staff. I asked for salsa and a few limes and she clapped her hands in my face and yelled“the salsa bar is over there!” We had asked for a glass of water and it took the entirety of our meal to get it.

    Barbacoa plate was delicious. Very tender and juicy. Didn’t like that they didn’t have taco combo plates only solo tacos. Service of drinks very slow considering wasn’t busy. Also would’ve been nice to have received soy sauce bottle as opposed to small packet that was given to us for sushi. Overall enjoyed place and the good music definitely a plus!
