Logistics & Planning
Parking: Street and nearby garage parking along Locust and Bonanza; evening meters free after 6 pm. Valet often available on weekends through neighboring plaza.
Dress code: Smart casual leaning upscale—collared shirts, dresses, or elevated jeans fit right in.
Noise level: Moderate during lunch, livelier at dinner but still conversational at most tables.
Weekend wait: 40–60 minutes without a reservation during peak evenings.

Vegan options: Limited – a few shareable sides or can modify dishes by request.

Good to Know
Is this good for a first date? Yes – the chic Caribbean aesthetic, polished cocktails, and open patio lighting make it an impressive but relaxed choice for a first date.
Can I get a table without a reservation? Possible at lunch or early dinner, but evenings fill quickly. The bar is your best bet for walk-ins with full menu access.
Is it kid-friendly? Not particularly – the menu and ambiance cater more to adults and business diners. Teens may be fine, but younger children may feel out of place.
Best For
Better for: Upscale Latin fusion and creative cocktails in a refined downtown setting – more stylish than typical taquerias.
Skip if: You’re craving a traditional or value-driven burrito spot; this is a chef-led restaurant experience, not fast casual.
