This is a GEM! The service was fast and attentive. The lavender margarita was good. And the tacos were SOOOO GOOD. Wish we would have gotten more of the mango salsa picante because Que Rico. Will definitely be back and highly recommend. The ambiance was awesome with the local art! Loved it. The tacos gobernador were fire!

Excellent food!! Slow service, but they give you notice in advance. The only time we had a poor experience with service on the island. Our server was not a native Puerto Rican, and I think this made a whole difference. The server was not friendly or did have any significant courtesy or manner in her way to serve us or any of the other people in the restaurant. Thank god the flavors were excellent, and my husband agreed that they were very similar to the ones found in Mexico. I hope the service gets better, because is a nice spot for Mexican food.

Delicious cocktails and very good food. Funky fun atmosphere that was quite cozy. Loved the art on the walls and a wall of plants at the front. We sat inside, the outdoor patio was closed. Great service even though we don't speak Spanish, our server was very helpful.

The employee's are very nice, courteous and knowledgeable about their menu. Our server was Carla, she went the extra mile to make us feel comfortable and made sure we had everything we needed. Drinks are very well executed like, the mixologist really knows what she is foing. Food was average and did not pair with the quality of the drinks. The ambient, music, lighting is appealing and the decor eclectic. All the chairs and tables are different and comfortable. All and all it was a good experience and will come back not for the food but for the whole package. Congratulations to the employees, they make this place shine.

The atmosphere and the food of this place are amazing. My boyfriend and I went for lunch and we were not disappointed!! Immediately walking in, the decor and ambiance was enchanting, I loved the music and wall art especially. Staff were very kind and the food came in a timely manner. I ordered carnitas tacos ($14) y horchata($6), and for my partner, carne asada(around 15) and a Jarritos($3.50). Horchata prices are different everywhere so I can’t complain. Overall we spent 50 (including tip) for the two of us. The meat was so juicy and flavorful, as well as the refried beans. For our first time in PR, this is our top restaurant so far 🫶
