Super amazing place! I loved the decor and comfy seating, plenty of options including outdoor dining! I came here on a recommendation from a friend and I was Very pleased with my experience. The yucca fries (pictured below) are super delicious, both with the sauce and plain! Definitely try them as your appetizer. They have a lot of fresh options to choose from, and can accommodate vegetarian diets! The staff is friendly and courteous, even as the restaurant got busy our server made sure we had everything we needed. I tried a pineapple Paloma and it was very delicious! I would highly recommend this restaurant to anyone :)

We had a good dinner here on a busy Friday night. Got there just in time to snag a large high-top near the door, and there was enough room to slide a stroller in beside the table and wine cabinet--perfect! The food was very good, especially the chips and queso. I got the steak and goat cheese enchiladas, which were a little unusual (why I got them), but also very good.

The food was really good and fresh. I dropped in hoping to get a quick bite and I was very pleased with my meal. Eva was very pleasant and professional. I appreciate that very much. I will definitely come again. I ordered two fish tacos and a steak taco. All were superb I am excited to come back to try the Devils Water. I would definitely recommend this place to anyone looking for great authentic cantina cuisine, great ambiance and awesome service!

Very unique restaurant. Found the restaurant at the last minute. Very nice decorations inside. Chips and salsa are NOT free, 3 and they come with red and Verde salsas. If you don't like spicy salsa do not order, they're spicy to most palates in my opinion, but we're great for me since I like spicy food. The chips are thick, freshly cooked, and don't get soggy after dunking into the salsa. Cocktails are priced fairly and are not too strong. I ordered a cocktail with mezcal, which is what tequila is technically. They have a nice spirit selection also. Cerviezas (beer) mostly from Mexico, but they serve other brands also. I ordered a taco special, which is your choice of two tacos from the list with black beans and rice. Rice has a green hue to it. Tacos were a great size and the rice and beans serving was good for the price of the special (13). Dessert was your typical offerings except my waitresses choice, which was the cheesecake flan. VERY delicious and soft. I would definitely return if I was in the area! Great neighborhood eating place.
