Reviews
The service was stellar and the portions were hearty.
Drinks – 10/10
Birria Dumplings = 13/10
Beef Cheeks = 470/10
Octopus Dish = 100000/10
The food is okay, lacks depth and true flavor. There’s not one bite we had that we were thoroughly impressed by. I’ve had better items from the frozen aisle of Trader Joe’s. Food was also semi warm instead of hot. The service is really great and the ambiance is really nice though.
Further details on food items ordered:
Dumplings: the sauce was supposed to be the star of the show but was just meh, okay. It was warm at best and lacked true flavor. The Birria inside the dumplings was good.
Carnitas flatbread: the bread tasted nice, one of the only things that tasted fresh. The red onions completely overpowered the dish though. Concept is good, execution could be much, much better.
The pulpo was my favorite thing although it could have been better in flavor. Still just okay.
Another huge disappointment was in the cocktails department. I asked if they could sub one of their cocktail vodka drinks with gin and they said no, which is absurd. I asked if they couldn’t sub the spirit, if they could create something similar and they would not. Lacks creative thinking skills in this department, it’s truly not that hard to sub or create something similar with a very similar spirit. Very disappointing. With so many restaurants to compete with, I’d step it up if I were them.
