    Amazing experience! No wonder this place is Michelin Bib Gourmand recommended and Chef Adrian won a James Beard award. My wife and o came here with another couple and we absolutely loved everything about the food and the place. The inside is very nicely decorated in contemporary Mexican inspired art which makes you feel very comfortable. The service was also excellent with our servers going above and beyond and even providing my wife with a free vegetarian appetizer. For food, we ordered a bunch of appetizers, which were all fantastic. The papas bravas really stood out to us, as they were very soft inside, crunchy outside and the prosciutto on top added a really nice touch. For entree I had the pork belly carnitas and they were fantastic. The pork belly was juicy and nicely seasoned. The green sauce that came with it, added a very nice hint of spice. My wife had the squash blossom tetela which was very comforting. One of our friends ordered the branzino tikin xic, which I had the chance to try a bite and omg… sooooo good! The fish was flaky, moist and perfectly seasoned. Will definitely be coming back soon!

    The food and taste was impeccable. Texture was light and finished clean on every dish. The waiter and the manager was also very friendly and pleasant to be around. We were a bit underdressed for the occasion, but they made us feel really comfortable and at home. The waiter was very extensive and knowledgeable of the menu, he made sure ask what our likes and dislikes, allergies, etc. and this were and genuinely made our experience. I would recommend dining here on the occasional splurge.
