Saw this place on the news and immediately my wife and I decided we needed to try it. We were not disappointed! Our server was friendly and attentive. The food was brought out promptly and was amazing. My wife loves flan and I love churros so instead of splitting dessert like we do when we are full (and we were full) we each ordered dessert and neither one of us regretted that choice.

So I walked into this place thinking it was going to be another taco place, but was I wrong I ordered the cauliflower steak, the achiote brick chicken and a Chile relleno. The taste of the food was super delicious ,I felt transported to Guadalajara and reminded me of my kid yrs. Simply fabulous I even ended up asking my waitress where the head chef was from. She said he was from Gdl. Sir I tip my hat to you 😉. The only thing uh oh here it comes, the only thing I didn't I didn't agree with was the hibiscus lemonade but I'll see past that here are some pictures of what I ordered thank you for the excellent meal. Additional note the corn tortillas have a nice presentation but it was missing a, je ne sais quoi. The music, great decoration very nice lighting and seating comfortable the food doest take a while for it to be brought well worth the wait.

Had the pozole and it was very good! The chips and salsa roja was great as well. Servers were very attentive and refilled my water as soon as it was low. Lots of seating and definitely a great place to grab a few drinks.

The service was a bit slow; the scallops came out 15 minutes after we had received the rest of the pictured items but everything tasted absolutely amazing. The carne asada was cooked perfectly. Very impressed with the plating as well! Highly recommend if you want to have a fun brunch because they have a DJ playing upbeat and lively Latin music!

There’s a number of great plates we offer daily. One of most popular dishes is our Strauss Farm Grass Fed Grass Finished Carne Asada. Cooked to temperature and served with roasted anaheim peppers, charred cipollini and blistered tomato, a side of award winning guacamole and our smokey salsa quemada.

I'd have to say no, but like Kaci said its located in a plaza area. There are seats by the front entrance, but I'm sure its for the people waiting to be seated.
