Enjoyed this restaurant! We ordered the bottle and food combo, which is an amazing deal for groups. Up to 5 people can share. If I make it back again, I would order my own selection of meat and ask for a specific cooking temperature. Alot of the meat was overcooked. The guacamole is a must to make delicious tacos.

Delicious food! Definitely an experience to be had if you are in or near Guadalajara. There was live music, both mariachi and banda and the vibe was incredible. We had a cazuela, a drink with lemon soda, grapefruit, lemon and oranges and you can add tequila to it, making the alcohol milder. The food was also delicious, we had costillas and chorizo that were served with pico de gallo, salsas and corn tortillas. 10/10!

Had terrific food and wonderful staff that catered an event we had last night. Sushi was spot on, and no one could resist a Cuban sandwich or empanada. Thanks again for 2 years in a row.

Wow. This place was recommended from a friend and let me tell you, it lives up to the hype. Believe these incredible reviews. The meat is like no other, so tender and juicy. The shrimp was delicious. The servers were INCREDIBLE. They were so attentive and super helpful. The tortillas we changed every 5 or 10 minutes and the taste was superior. I will definitely return to this place and recommend it to anyone that comes to Guadalajara.
