The food was delicious. We all tried different things and sharedamongst each other to see if we were all in agreement. Overall we enjoyed everything. Definitely a good hop in and eat location.Plus they have family size orders that come out on huge platters! Read more

The food and vibe of the place was great. CALL IN ADVANCE TO MAKE AN APPOINTMENT FOR DINER SERVICE. It gets crazy busy and we... were told it would be 45 to 1 hour waiting....which was close to what we waiting. The place had a live band playing and theyhave a very large patio where you can hang outside without music happening inside. The only down side the server forgot about usand we had to flag servers from other tables for drink refills? Ordering food... Everything else was great. Read more
Food is superb and delicious. This is the most authentic Oaxacan food. With that said, the restaurant is extremely busy and... service is compromised. The poor waitress had to bus her own tables and some had very large parties. I asked for hot sauce orsalsa for my meal and it never made it to the table. I asked 3 times for a to go box and not until I got up and asked again, Ifinally got it. I didn't like the fact that the check was not presented to me for review. The waitress just gave me a total topay and the tip options. I noticed everyone else was paying the same way. Considering how much the restaurant charges for food,there is room for improvement.

I love the experience here. The waiters are so nice and answer any questions we had and made suggestions. Definitely an acquired... taste if your only used to tacos and burritos. I loved it. This is the way to do it! Oaxaca style mole!!!! Tip these waitersmore on your next visit! Read more
I came here for my birthday; it was a great experience. I came earlier in the afternoon with a small group to avoid a long wait.... Parking was available with valet; which was worth it. We sat outside which was great because it seemed lively. The quality ofingredients and food was great. Both alcoholic and non alcoholic drinks had great flavor. Food was flavorful and with bigportions. I recommend sharing a plate or two pending on the size of your party. Staff was friendly; my mom speaks primarilySpanish so she felt right at home with multiple Spanish speaking staff. Place was clean. I gladly come back. Read more
