Food was delicious (albeit not hot) so I’ll give 4 stars. And the atmosphere was amazing. The staff was very unfriendly I guess bc my sister and I are Muslim. We sat there in am empty restaurants at the smallest table they had until I just got fed up and moved myself. I’ll attach some photos so you can see that is actually beautiful. But they only want Spanish people in their spot of the owner or manager disagrees then by all means invite us back. We spent $140 for cold food. And weak drinks! This is my honest respectful review!

This was honestly one of the worst places I’ve eaten at. The food was terrible, nothing tasted fresh and most of it seemed stale. We went during the week and the menu was super limited, barely any options. From the fajitas to the birria tacos, everything tasted off and not authentic at all. It felt super Americanized. I would’ve rather eaten at Chipotle or even Taco Bell.
I also ordered a piña colada and it was disgusting. It tasted super fake, like they used some kind of powder mix instead of making it fresh. I couldn’t even finish it.
I ordered a Coke too and got a tiny glass full of ice with barely any soda. They didn’t even give me the can, which was annoying because it felt like they kept the rest of my drink.
On top of that, they automatically added an 18% gratuity for a party of four, which is crazy considering that’s not even a big table especially with how bad the food and service were. The prices were high, and I don’t mind spending money on good food, but this definitely wasn’t it.
The place looks nice from the outside, but the food is not good at all. Huge disappointment.

The restaurant itself is beautiful with a great atmosphere, good vibes, and very reasonable prices. The food was delicious, and our waitress, manager, and the rest of the staff (other than security) were welcoming and professional.
Unfortunately, the security experience really brought the mood down. We were only in the area briefly while waiting for my daughter’s concert to finish and decided to try the restaurant after checking the website and reviews. The website states that the dress code only applies after 7pm on Friday and Saturday. We went on a Sunday, but my son and I were almost denied entry because we had on Crocs. Security made a big deal about the shoes and we stood out there for 5-10 min just waiting because of the shoes (there was no line) After I pointed out the policy, security checked with the manager and then let us in.
My sister also had her Stanley cup with water because it was hot outside, and the security guard was extremely rude and snotty about it, saying “you can’t bring that in here, y’all must not go out much.” He then made her leave it at the front door. That comment felt unnecessary and unprofessional, and it took away from the excitement we had walking in.
We mentioned the situation casually to our waitress, and without us even asking, the manager came to our table to personally apologize. That gesture meant a lot, and it showed that management truly cares about their customers.
Overall, the food and vibes were excellent, but the security staff needs more professionalism and consistency with following the restaurant’s actual policies. Parking is also tough, so be prepared to use valet (around $30).
If the security experience matched the quality of the food and staff, this would have been an easy 5-star review.

Tijuana Burrito ( Veg)
(limited Veg options, but the burrito tasted so so good. It was a lot of veggies with fresh sour cream was m and the habanero sauce)
The presentation and ambiance was lit. The music was so so loud!! But the vibe was great.
Perfect was a bigger party if you want to have fun and have amazing food. The DJ seemed chill and the mixes were really good.
Gratuity is included and the prices are kinda high.
Overall worth it!!

So awesome place to chill and vibe, the best part is getting to chose your vibe settings here. They have three different levels. The lounge , you dance and have drinks, the dinning room where the music is at its mid and the rooftop, super elegant and that’s where I was loved it! Had a great time the owner did such a great job and he made us feel so welcomed that’s really what made me want to stay cause I don’t like being in Newark. The only thing I did not like was the valet parking. I get the $25 to park but what threw me off is that the guy didn’t let me enter the restaurant from the parking lot and made me walk around to the front. But when I came back for my car I saw he let someone else go through the back. So idk if maybe she’s also the owner prob. Idk. But I’d hope if they could change that because I had heals on and it was super dark and a bit of walk to go to the front.
