What Diners Are Saying
"Today, by chance, the restaurant I was originally going to go to was closed, and I entered this place where I was curious as I passed by. The place I found while passing by looked like a bar, but when I searched, it said it was a fusion Mexican restaurant, so I thought I should visit it. I was looking forward to it because it looked very modern. The interior attracted attention with a very clean and sophisticated interior. I received the menu and didn't know much about Mexican cuisine, so I left the order to my husband. Thinking of as the owner, she was really kind and gave a careful explanation of the menu and we accepted most of her suggestions. As a result, it was really delicious. The dishes with the ingredients they made and their know-how felt different from the Mexican dishes they had tried so far. The dessert was perfect, and the duck dish in the pepper was a little spicy, so my husband liked it more. We were hungry after going to the gym, but we cleared all the plates. If you have anything to do near downtown, I strongly recommend you to visit."- M Pak
"We had dinner at the bar on a Friday night. This place is a great date spot! Lots of good cocktail and mocktail options. The guy at the bar recommended we stick to the happy hour menu for food which we did. We enjoyed the oysters, elote, potatoes, steak tacos and tres leches dessert. Service was perfect! I’d definitely come back."- Talia Karasinski
