The restaurant was busy, but the service remained efficient. Definitely a place I’ll be coming back to! " (*Curated Review*)

" I will start by saying that the service was incredible! Our waitress was attentive and friendly. The food was tasty, especially the appetizers. The guacamole tasted fresh, but I found the main dishes lacking in seasoning. I enjoyed the environment of the restaurant, and it feels welcoming for a family night out. I would like to see improvements in the flavors for the main courses. " (*Curated Review*)

My only complaint was the long wait for our desserts. Nevertheless, I still enjoyed my experience, and I would recommend this place to friends looking for a casual Mexican eatery.
