" What a treat! We visited on a weeknight and enjoyed a relaxed dinner. The chicken birria was tender, and the margaritas had just the right blend of flavors—excellent pair with the tacos. The atmosphere was friendly and welcoming, making it a lovely evening. " (*Curated Review*)

" The happy hour was a delightful surprise! The drinks were reasonably priced and quite strong—definitely enjoyed them. The food was also good, but I did find the portion sizes a bit smaller than expected unless sharing. Still, the flavors were spot on! " (*Curated Review*)

" Enjoyed our dinner here. The atmosphere was vibrant and welcoming. Had the shrimp tacos and they were fresh, but I expected a bit more seasoning. Great drinks, but be warned, they are potent! " (*Curated Review*)

" What a gem of a restaurant! The birria tacos were exceptional, and the drinks were fantastic. The vibrancy of this place makes you want to linger over your meal. However, the service was slightly lacking on our last visit, but it won't deter me from returning. " (*Curated Review*)

" I've had mixed experiences at this place. While the atmosphere is lively and fun, the service can be hit or miss. The food flavors are generally good, yet I felt the birria wasn't as tender as it could be. I might return but with lowered expectations. " (*Curated Review*)

" My friends and I visited this spot expecting great service, but we were let down a little. Although the food was delicious, we found ourselves waiting quite a while for our initial orders. Perhaps it was just a busy night. " (*Curated Review*)
