Nice newer large restaurant with several margarita variants. People liked the coconut rice that came with the swordfish more than the swordfish itself. The kale salad was well dressed. There isn’t a lot of sound deadening or fabric pads so it gets very loud very quickly. The bathrooms are down stairs.

I dined here with a group of 4 for Sunday brunch. The drinks were good and food was solid, but nothing blew my mind. I tried almost everything on the menu, and my favorite thing was the esquites corn bowl. The chilaquiles were good as well, but most of the food seemed a little gimmicky. The $29 bottomless brunch is a good deal though!

Came here with some friends for bottomless brunch. Every dish we ordered was insanely delicious and packed with flavor. My personal favorite was the chicken milanesa torta. The music in the restaurant was very upbeat, groovy, and had us dancing in our seats. The service could have been a lot better. When waiting to order more food, I had to yell “EXCUSE ME” very loudly to get a waiter’s attention. Aside from that little mishap, I highly recommend this place, especially for bottomless brunch.

I went for the first time for Sunday brunch with some friends. I enjoyed the decor and the food. Service was also great. However, for roughly $15 each there wasn’t much alcohol in any of the drinks. We went for the “bottomless brunch” which is only food in Massachusetts. We tried a number of dishes, the best were the tacos and the chicken and waffles. I also enjoyed the chilaquiles.

The food was really good and the nacho also. A little pricey especially since each taco is sold separately and confusing. I’d eat there again.

Had a great date night here and plan to visit again this weekend for brunch!
When we visited they were doing a poll for a new margarita flavor and had margarita flights available. I loved the watermelon passionfruit marg and I hope to see it again on the menu. For the food, the queso was delicious and each taco had its own unique flavor. The restaurant overall had a great ambiance for date night so I recommend bringing your dates here!

Update: Went to brunch and was worth it!

Came for dinner on a whim and was pleasantly surprised. Firstly, the guacamole was very delicious. However, $10 for seemingly a small serving for two is quite steep. On to the drinks, I tried to order an autumn sangria and it wasn’t ready to be served yet (came here Oct 4th) so I ordered the apple mule instead. The apple mule is a sweet drink that would go well by itself. My boyfriend ordered the Smoke on Davis which was… gross lol. The smell is very strong and it tastes exactly the way the car section of Walmart smells.. tastes like tires idk how else to describe it. Anyways, the food was AMAZING!! Ordered the roasted squash enchiladas and they were perfect. Such a warm fall dinner and I would recommend everyone to try it at least once. The street cart chicken was amazing as well. The rice with it was so rich and buttery, the veggies were perfectly cooked, and the chicken was juicy and delicious. Another dish I would recommend for many to try. If you are looking for a slightly pricier and nicer dinner, this is the perfect place for it.

Really loved the decor and the overall atmosphere of the place! It’s rare to find a nice dine-in restaurant like this in Boston/Cambridge. I tried the short ribs and shrimp tacos, and both were delicious. The nachos were great too. I didn’t get a chance to take photos, but I’ll definitely be back. Very reasonable prices as well!

We came for mucho mania – 21$ of all you can eat menu. It has most of the place’s dishes, but in tapas style (smaller and aimed to share).
This was a great expression, we got to try many (actually, all the vegetarian) dishes, and in reasonable size and portions.
Even without this special offer, their prices are fair and the food is delicious.
I highly recommend their cocktails as well – all are well crafted, balanced and special. High value for you money. We would definitely come back.
The only downside that I would mention is that it’s a very loud place, and there isn’t much to do about it.

Fantastic new brunch, always love the food here. I’ve been here twice in 2 weeks because the food is so good. Order anything, it’ll all be worth it.

They don’t mention that the items on the brunch menu are all small-sized, perfect for tasting. Pace yourself though, it’s a lot of food!

Get the iced coffee horchata, it’s so good!
