Huge shout out to the manager Jamie! I had a slight issue with some food a few weeks back. Figured I would try again because I enjoyed the ambience and vibe so much. I called the restaurant and let Jamie know what happened with my last order. Without hesitation she replaced the order for me. When I came in the restaurant was busy and I saw Jamie doing table touches, while also bussing tables, and communicating with staff to ensure quick table transitions for waiting customers. Through all this she still made it a point to ha... read more

Wonderful Mexican food. A nice change of pace from the fast/casual burrito spots in the area that we also enjoy, but this is an elevated, chef driven cuisine but won't break the bank. We got a to go order over the weekend and I appreciated that they packed all the different condiments and sauces, the enchiladas were some of the best I've had in the Midwest. We also enjoyed the elote and plantains. The patio was packed and it's definitely a great place to grab a drink when the weather is nice. The manager Jamie introduc... read more

Outstanding! Very interesting Mexican fare. We started with the Cauliflower queso after asking about it. It's mostly cheese with Cauliflower for some texture. It's served with amazing pico and housemade tortilla chips. Very good. The Empanadas were chicken the night we went and were outstanding. My friend had the flank steak which he enjoyed. I opted for an order of their guacamole and elote. The elote didn't typically come with chips which I found odd as it's not on the cob. They graciously gave me chips with the m... read more

Decent enough. THey seem to be getting their act together on production and wait staff, and seem quite agreeable. The food seems high quality and well tended, and they have a full bar, so it's a good spot for a meal with a friend or special someone.
