Diana A. • September 8, 2018The place feels cozy at night, but the ramen wasn’t the best. It didn’t taste authentic, and is overpriced. Overall, a bit overhyped.

Mark B. • July 11, 2013Not authentic Mexican - it is really a Southwest style place, but the crispy tacos are the bomb. Great salsa bar too.
