| - My friend and I came across this restaurant, while we were in the distillery district. The place serves Mexican tapas. The food was delicious, and the service was great. Everyone from the door greeter, our waitress, to the bouncer outside was super friendly. You couldn't tell that they had just opened as everything was well organized. The food came out fast and in a timely manner. If you like patios they have a really nice one.
The tapas come in cute small portions, and were really yummy. I love their mojito served with fresh mint (get the one with the nectar). It's one of the best I've tried. Be careful when you order the water to make sure you don't end up ordering their $7 flat water, unless this is of course what you want. The tapas were flavorful and good. On recommendation from our waitress we ordered guacamole, which comes with tortilla chips - this is very good and everyone should give it a try. The restaurant also provides 3 different types of hot sauces, lemons and limes, which all nicely complement any of the dishes. We tried the lobster burrito that had nicely cooked lobster meat. The pulled pork with black bean sauce served on a banana leaf, and soft tortilla on the side was my favourite dish. The pork was tender and juicy. I also really like the tuna ceviche with watermelon. The tuna nicely complemented the sweet watermelon, onions, and spices in the ceviche. I only wished we had gotten more of it.
The place was lively, and had a nice vibe to it. The decor reminded me of the Day of the Dead with the skeleton themed decorations and vibrant colours that all worked really well together. I would definitely come back again.
