Ask for Ulises! From the moment I walked in, the service was amazing. Even though the rest of my party hadn’t arrived yet, they seated me right away and kept the chips and salsa coming—not just once! I absolutely loved the watermelon tequila mixed margaritas, and the shishito pepper dish was a standout. While the portions were on the smaller side, that’s exactly what I expect from an authentic, boutique-style Mexican restaurant. The abundance of appetizers more than made up for it and was perfectly satisfying. We enjoyed burritos, street tacos, and had an overall excellent Taco Tuesday extravaganza. Highly recommend for great food, drinks, and vibes! 🌮🍹

Just, yum. We braved the oooober retarded traffic and parking patterns outside because Colfax is completely jacked right now. That’s what I would call a good decision. This place was uncrowded, unfussy and just amazing. We started off with chips and two types of salsa and both were amazing. Skinny margarita for me with extra lime juice. I ordered the chili rellano with both types of beans and hubby had the steak fajitas with flour tortillas. Complete score all the way around. Ask for Lucy, she’s an absolute gem of a server. Perfectly attentive and gave all the right suggestions. If you’re wondering whether or not you should stop here, let me help you. You should. Stop here now while the street is under mad construction because you basically have the place to yourself. And they well deserve ALL the support.
