"My wife and I had a wonderful dinner here on a Friday evening in October 2025. We are from southern California, and are very familiar with Mexican food, and we were very impressed with the authentic flavors, high quality ingredients, and lovely presentation of the food. We enjoyed the adobe chicken quesadilla, birria (braised beef) taco, squid taco, guacamole, and horchata to drink. My wife has Celiac, and they were able to safely accommodate her need for gluten free food. Highly recommend."

"The staff is really nice and the Restaurant is designed well but the food sadly wasn’t all that. The taco was good but the quesadillas were kinda disappointing. Overall not bad but also not the best."
