“ Such a cool ambience and venue, it’s pretty dimly lit and with nice music. REAL candles at every table which I feel like is so rare. Food tastes fresh and the salsa is killer. This is my go to date spot, and i’m from California so I know good Mexican Food. Ethan was such a sweet server and blissfully listened to me ramble for like 5 minutes in a row. Super great service :))) ”
