" Great place for an evening out! The interior is vibrant and beautifully decorated. I had the short rib enchiladas and they were a delight. However, I found the menu a bit limited on vegetarian options. The staff was genuinely friendly which made the visit better. Will definitely be back, potentially with a group. " (*Curated Review*)
