★★★☆☆ 3.0 Krissy D Wilson · Dec 2025

We enjoyed the DJ and the music selections were amazing! Food was very limited...I think the kitchen was close to closing time... so we ordered off of the not main menu but the happy hour. Beef Empanadas and the stuffed Plantain which was yummy. We had 3 Caribbean Pineapple Old fashions and I am not a newbie to Old Fashions and have an understanding of mixology...When I say strong I mean strong. The flavor wasn't bad but the entire drink was a bit over powering for the palate. We did have some trouble with our waitress...maybe it was just a long night for her...but she didn't seem like she wanted to be there in all honesty. The ambience is very nice and the live music will probably be the reason we return... I suppose we could get there earlier and try the regular menu next time. Bathroom

Great experience.. The drinks were great esp the Sobre Mesa. The tapas were good. We liked the warmed brioche, empanadas, goat cheese,adobo chicken pinchos. The service is great and the ambience and the decor is unique and we really enjoyed our evening here..

The food here is amazing!!! You've got to try the beef empanadas and the bone marrow😛 i had one of the best crafted mezcal drinks and a second because it was so good. Highly recommend this place for your pre show munchums if your going to the fox theater for some entertainment. This place serves it up right!!!

Spent my 3 year anniversary here and had an amazing time. The food is so vibrant and the flavor profile are sweet and tangy. The perfect blend of citrus and tangy. My partner and I got these coool shots from the waitress because she heard us mention we were celebrating our anniversary. Will definitely be back.

very romantic and atmospheric: perfect for a nice date for a keto loving couple… great service… went here on a first date and we shared a lovely meal I did not pay, but I think it was approximately $70 per person, including alcohol
