Met a friend there for drinks and stayed for a lite taco dinner. Atmosphere was very good for visiting (not too loud), even on a Thursday after work. The Oyamrel margarita with the salty foam was fabulous. Just wish there was more of it for the price. A la carte taco menu superb and they were very tasty,must the right amount for the price. High marks and I'll be back next time in town. Jonathan our server was top notch.

Fresh guacamole being made as you walk in (They also have a smoked salsa for tortilla chips). Nice bar full of different tequilas/mezcal. Everything was excellent. Goat taco, corn truffle quesadilla, shrimp, etc. Really good horchata. Also multiple flavors of agua fresca.

Food wasn't that good. Service wasn't that good. The only thing that deserves 5 stars is the ambiance.
