What an incredible experience! We went to celebrate my sister's birthday, and it couldn't have been more perfect. The food was simply exquisite, and I had the chance to try crickets for the first time—let me tell you, they were surprisingly delicious! I highly recommend visiting this restaurant. The tacos, empanadas, and the coconut dessert were all absolute perfection. To top it off, our server was fantastic and exceptionally kind. A flawless 10/10!

I went to celebrate a Colombian night but was disappointed that the menu was mainly Mexican . The pork belly was really good though and so the tacos, however the “Mexican pizza “ ,i forget the name , was overstuffed with bean puree and charged me $8 to add 4 small Slices of beef. Also, two empanadas for $18. That is truly ridiculous !!! Overall I found the food to be too pricey for what you get. Service was great and we enjoyed the Colombian Music!
It was a gathering of 5 women celebrating a special birthday. Horrible restaurant temperature. It was as extremely hot. We asked the sever 3 times about the air conditioner setting. The air was clearly not on. And she gave 3 different vague answers. Never replied directly. Never apologized. Never brouht the manager over to explain anything about the environment. Overall epic fail.
We took all of out server’s recommendations cauliflower appetizer, octopus, and pork belly, and EVERYTHING was a hit! Super delicious, hot, and savory well seasoned, and beautifully plated. The cocktails were also a hit Italian wolf(a show in and of itself), Sinaloa In a Glass and En Las Nubes! The live music was top notch. We WILL be back! Book a table now
With an award to their name, one would expect the food to be exceptional. Unfortunately, this restaurant is surprisingly quiet, and now I understand why. The food simply doesn’t justify the cost. It's disappointing, and I urge them to elevate their standards if they want to maintain that award. It's time to stop the misleading advertising.
The food and drinks were quite tasty, but the prices felt a bit high for the portion sizes. The music was very loud, making it difficult to have a conversation at the table. I received a dirty glass, but it was promptly replaced when I asked for a clean one, although no apology was offered.
The food took a while to arrive, and our entrees were served at different times. Unfortunately, the quality wasn't as good as I remembered from my previous visits.
Great food and service! The ambience was perfect to have a good convo with friends and the drinks made with mezcal were amazing Book a table now

This restaurant is very upscale, great food and ambiance. Drinks are the specialty.
