Good to Know
Is this good for a first date? Perfect - intimate lighting, not too loud, interesting menu to discuss, and the colorful presentations make great conversation starters
Can I get a table without a reservation? Weeknights usually yes, but Friday/Saturday after 6:30pm is risky. Bar seating often available for walk-ins
Is it kid-friendly? Better for kids 10+ who appreciate unique flavors. No kids menu, but they'll modify dishes. Early dinner (5-6pm) more family-appropriate
Best For
Better for: Creative, Instagram-worthy Mexican with a healthy twist - no other local Mexican spot does salmon or watermelon salads
Skip if: You want traditional street tacos, huge portions, or budget-friendly Mexican - try Taqueria Don Chepe or Fiesta Taco instead
