Super good service and the food is awesome. The sweet salsa threw me off at first but it is quite addictive! The Queso was something like I have never had before. And we definitely finished it off! 100% recommend!

Loved the menu items and the flavor is fantastic! A bit on the pricey side, but worth the extra dollars spent.

Went as a group with a reservation on a weeknight. Ordered queso and guacamole. Both were good but what was not was the small bowls of chips. We had to ask for refills at least 3-4 times. Each time it took the waitress 10+ minutes to bring out more. This was while 3 employees played on their cell phones literally 10 feet across the restaurant with their backs to us. Our queso was cold and there was still guac left with no chips to eat it.Ordered meals my enchiladas had a total of 6 shrimp and cost $30. Total rip off! My friends fajitas were delivered with no tortillas and only peppers. When asked, the waitress insisted there were onions in the dish and actually argued about it before asking condescendingly if my friend wanted some onions.Three friends ordered tacos. They said the flavor was good but the tacos were small (about the size of the palm of a woman’s hand) the rice and beans served as sides were inedible. Cocktails were average but nothing special. Honestly at the price point and location of this restaurant I am surprised it is still open. I’m embarrassed I suggested this place to my friends and definitely won’t be back.There are too many great restaurants in the city to support a restaurant with terrible service and a rude waitstaff and a kitchen that can’t put dishes together before sending them out.

Delicious. Warm, fresh chips and tacos were awesome. Friendly, attentive staff that didn't hover.

out of all the Mexican restaurants I’ve tried it definitely was not the best I’ve had. The atmosphere though, was very nice and the decor was beautiful. My table ordered the taco salad and the Mexican pizza, which personally I don’t recommend because they both tasted burnt. The chimichanga was pretty decent and it had good flavor. BUT the Side of queso dip on the other hand was to die for, hands down the best queso I’ve ever had I would come back here just for the queso, it was delicious. All in all the food was overpriced and not worth it. 65 with no drinks for lunch.

We went for lunch. Got some margaritas, short ribs app and chicken chimichanga. More than enough food, very tasty and fabulous drinks. The housemade salsa has a touch of sweetness which was unique and tasty. The service was prompt, efficient and friendly. We will return

Food was good but the chicken tortilla soup didn't have any tortillas in it and the soup was red, which I've never seen before.

Service and atmosphere amazing. Food... uhhh. not so much. Maybe I should try something else, but just too pricey to give it a 2nd shot.

I eat at restaurants as part of my job. My friend and I went into Zocalo and ate at the bar. The bartender was attentive to everyone but us. The food was half hearted and the prices were high for what it was.. No bueno

Nice atmosphere, yet this newer restaurant still needs some tweaking… the potential is there! The chips were very stale. They brought us less stale chips. Yet, our entrees were absolutely delicious!!! Perhaps removing wires that are literally hanging over a table (see pic) would help, along with fresh, hot crispy chips. Service was a bit slow. I’m thrilled they had a menu, although it was very hard to read, even with glasses.
