    Good food during Restaurant Week. All the options were great. We all ordered something different and everyone was happy with their meals. The expresso flan is really tasty and the tres leches while a bit drier than other versions, the citrus flavor was delish. I recommend this restaurant. Great location, good food and excellent service.

    This was the saltiest meal I’ve ever eaten. At first I just assumed I got a couple of chips that had been hit too hard with the salt shaker. Unfortunately, everything was over salted. I swear even the churros had salt—and lots of it. I appreciated the vegetarian choices. Best things we got were the most basic - the black beans and rice and the cornbread. Decor and ambience was great. Light fixtures are so interesting but they need to figure out how to clean them better. Felt like a cloud of dust hovered above me, waiting to fall on my food at any second.
