Highlights and Lowlights
1) great food
2) friendly service
3) excellent location
A craft Mexican restaurant in downtown Madison?! FINALLY you are here. This little place, in the old Nostrano spot, is so cute! But, it's little. You are almost guaranteed a wait on the weekend as there are probably only 10 tables inside. We tried last Friday (granted it was Cinco de Mayo) and the wait was a casual 3 hours. Came back on a weeknight and ate at the bar with no waiting!
We were served by the bartender who was very friendly and super knowledgeable of the craft cocktails and food. I was impressed as this place had only been open for about 6 days at this point. The craft cocktails and margaritas were excellent. We ordered chips and guacamole. Chips were good and come in cute little bags, guacamole was ok. You get free "duh-ritos" which is a fun spin, but that does mean you are paying for chips and salsa. They have a ton of gluten-sensitive items labeled on the menu (they said they technically can't say gluten free because the fryers are shared). We got the fried fish, farmers cheese, brisket, and chicken tacos on corn tortillas. So so so good!
Can't wait to come back!
