Description

The space draws its character from colorful folk art and collected treasures filling the dining room. Dishes arrive fast and hot, featuring tortas, sopes, and enchiladas alongside fish tacos, street corn, and a notably spicy housemade hot sauce. Creative margaritas lead the full bar alongside a deep bench of mezcal and cerveza. With loud music and steady crowd buzz, the room stays high-spirited and not geared for quiet conversation.
