The chilaquiles had a nice kick and the cafe de olla was strong, just how I like it. Service was quick too, perfect for a casual catch-up with friends.

Decent spot. Food took a while to come out, but it was pretty good once it arrived. Fries had a bit of a kick, not really my thing, but they boxed them up for me to take home. Fine for a casual meal.

The Peking duck with bao buns was a nice twist&mdash;soft buns made it easy to eat. Cocktails were solid too. Service stayed attentive without hovering, which I appreciated. Place has a modern feel, though seating could be a bit more comfortable. Still, it was a pleasant, low-stress meal.

I can&#39;t recommend this restaurant enough! The food quality is outstanding, and the service from Jos&eacute; was exceptional.

Been coming here for years. Breakfast&rsquo;s always solid, just get there before the rush or you&#39;ll wait.

The duck tacos and tuna carnitas were really good. Cocktails hit the spot too. Place is a little hidden but the food made it worth finding.

Service was sharp, steak came out exactly as ordered. Ribeye had good flavor, no complaints. Place has that upscale feel but you pay for it. Fine for a business dinner, not an everyday spot.

The steak and rice were really good, fresh ingredients for sure. Cozy spot, service was friendly. Just wish the portions were a bit bigger.

The vegan chilaquiles had real depth&mdash;my non-vegan wife loved them too. Nice to see plant-based done properly.

Pizza was the star here&mdash;crispy crust, good char, toppings actually fresh. Service kept it simple and friendly. Solid spot for a quick bite.

Stopped by for lunch and honestly the service was the best part. We don&rsquo;t speak much Spanish but the guy helping us was super patient, even helped us figure out what to order. Food was decent, nothing crazy, but they made us feel welcome the whole time. That alone makes me wanna come back.

The staff really listened when I asked about vegan options. They made me something fresh with veggies that wasn&#39;t just a boring salad. Nice to see a place that actually cares about dietary needs.

Stopped by for a quick espresso and ended up staying longer than planned. Place is small but the AC hits different on a hot day. Coffee was solid, nothing fancy but done right. Wish they had more seating though, got a bit cramped when the afternoon crowd rolled in.

Stopped by for a slice and honestly it hit the spot. Crust was crisp, cheese was decent, and the price didn&rsquo;t make me wince. Place is super casual, nothing fancy, but that&rsquo;s kinda the charm. Staff were chill too. Just a solid no-fuss pizza stop when you don&rsquo;t wanna think about it. 🍕

Valet and waitstaff were super friendly, but the ribeye was tough even though I ordered it medium rare.

The red snapper tostada was solid&mdash;fresh and loaded. Free chips with a few salsas and a tiny soup shot on the side, nice touch.

The handmade tortillas were the highlight for me. You can really taste the difference, they&#39;re soft and warm, not like the store-bought kind. The fresh salsas that came with them were great too. Portions were pretty generous for the price. I just wish they had a few more vegetable sides to balance out the heavier dishes.

The staff hooked me up with an off-menu veggie plate&mdash;roasted veggies and mashed potatoes. Pear salad was solid, banana cake&rsquo;s worth grabbing for dessert. 👍

The lasagna here is handmade, you can tell right away. Bread comes out fresh daily too. Cozy little place, nothing fancy, but the food does the talking. Portions are decent for the price. Service was fine, not rushed or anything. Pretty good spot if you&#39;re in the area and want something simple.

Pepe runs the place like he actually gives a damn. That alone keeps me coming back. Had the grilled fish and a glass of albari&ntilde;o&mdash;the pairing worked better than I expected. Food&rsquo;s always fresh, never had a bad batch. Place gets busy, but he still finds time to check in on you. Solid spot.

Half rack of ribs with sides for about $13.50. That&#39;s a steal. Food came out quick, no waiting around. Place fills up on weekends though.

The mole here actually converted me&mdash;never liked it before, but theirs is legit. Hot chocolate with espresso was the move.

Stopped by for a quick breakfast and grabbed an acai bowl. Fresh fruit on top, not too sweet, just right. Place was calm in the morning, easy to find a seat. Staff let me take my time deciding, which I appreciated. Bathroom was clean too, always a plus. Solid spot if you&#39;re in the area and want something light.

Stopped in for a quick bite and ended up staying longer than planned. Got the Parrillada guacho &mdash; that thing is massive. Meat was juicy, smoky, came out hot. Honestly, could&#39;ve shared it with someone else. $28 and I was full for the rest of the day. Didn&#39;t even need dinner after that. Place gets busy around noon, so go early if you&#39;re in a rush.

Came for the food, stayed for the vibe. Enrique knew the menu inside out, helped me pick a mezcal that paired great with the tacos. Place gets loud at night, but that&#39;s part of the fun. Just wish the kitchen was a bit faster, we waited a while for the main plates.

Braulio and Victor really take care of you here&mdash;super attentive without hovering. I had the grilled fish and it came out fresh, light, not overdressed. That&rsquo;s honestly what keeps me coming back. The veggies on the side were crisp too. Just wish they&rsquo;d swap out the chips for something less salty, but the meal itself felt clean and balanced.
