Super cool vibe. The service staff were ultra knowledgeable and friendly. Even the bussers stopped to say hello. The food was unique and fresh and delicious. The cocktails menu was next level. And finally, on a cool evening, I highly recommend sitting in the outdoor patio. Five stars all around!!

My wife and I thoroughly enjoyed our lunch here. Service was friendly, helpful, and attentive. The vibe of the restaurant is great. The dishes are spendy but the servings are enormous and delicious. My wife and I split a plate and it was more than the two of us could eat. The house margaritas are a bit gimmicky and weak which is probably a good thing because they are also huge. I’m hoping to come back but will skip the margaritas and get a beer or an off menu cocktail.

If you've been wanting to try this place.. DO IT! They by far have the best food, margaritas, and service I've ever experienced! If you love chips and queso their chips are like no other, they specially make them and are seasoned to perfection. My friends and I love coming here for girls night. I highly recommend requesting Juan as your server! He is super friendly and always checks in to make sure everything is tasting wonderful and makes sure drinks are topped off. We appreciate you, Juan and the rest of the staff! :)

I love me some Mexican food and the birthday girl did too! Came here to celebrate my friends birthday and to be honest this place is one of the best ones I’ve been to in Durham. The atmosphere is very chill and nice. There’s a couple areas where you can take nice pictures at. Customer service was great! And they do an amazing job when celebrating birthdays! The drinks are HUGE and at a great price, definitely worth it. And lastly the food!!! It was delicious and so appealing to the eye. I had the bowl and it tasted as good as it looked. I even took some leftovers home because it was so much. Will definitely go here again!

No complaints at all. Everything was excellent. Food was delicious. Drink was a little sweet but still good. Most definitely will be back when in the area. I had the nachos that was loaded and my wife had the chicken tacos and beef tacos. Extremely delicious.

Amazing food, quick service, lively and a vibrant atmosphere. We ordered one of the bigger drinks & that is generous size to share between two people. The veggie tacos were loaded, but ask for lime on the side for an extra kick! Parking was a little confusing and tricky to find. Wonderful overall experience and lovely outdoor seating, especially on a cool breeze day.
