Kirk Myers: Must try the guacamole, hand made right in front of you. Ask for the habanero sauce on the side if you like super spicy.
Nate Westheimer: Way nicer than other tips led on! Awesome drinks, guacamole, chips are insane, and great service!
Derek Fromson: José Andrés' Mexican tapas joint is a lively, vibrant scene. Don't miss the tasty mojitos, guacamole (made in front of you) and the traditional, yet complex chile en nogada, among other tasty treats.

Alan Arturo Day: I always have the cheese enchiladas. They're delicious *.* The guacamole is also very good, as are the margaritas.
MK McKenzie: I didn't know the standard table salsa could be so DAMN GOOD. Obsessed. The chips are top notch, guacamole is to die for. Margs are superb. Tacos are delicious. Great place. Going back ASAP.
Yuri B: Happy Hour margaritas will make you indeed happy: $4 and enaught spirit to get,tipsy any lightweight. Make sure to get $10 guacamole and chips side to share with your friend.

Alex Alex: Try the corn tortillas, add guac, and the al pastro is great!
Anna John: Basic taco is flawless. Burrito bowl > burritos. Mexican coke, an excellent salsa bar (truly spicy!) and addictive guacamole are all wonderful, too. Nachos are the only disappointment, but who cares?
Robbie Myers: Try the mojado burrito all week and the fish tacos on Friday...also can't go wrong with a small chip with guac!

Amy Schultz: Try that Guacamole Greens salad. It was delish with shrimp and a little bit of dressing.
Matt Dicker: I'll second the guacamole salad with shrimp. It's wonderful.
Sean Garren: Guac. Greens is good, but I'd ask them to skip the lime juice, the dressing has plenty already.

Carolyn Reed: The brunch was super NOM, everything was delicious. Thou shall not leave this restaurant without guacamole. It changed my life, and it will change yours my friend.
Giuliana: The guacamole is amazing. If you're gluten free, order it with carrots and celery instead of the tortillas, considering they're fried in the same oil as some of their gluten-full options.
Jen Shin: one of the best brunch buffets i've ever had! the buffet is loaded up with fresh guac, fried chicken, and more. the servers also come around to tables with food!

Bobby: Can’t go wrong with any of the guacamole options. The seafood enchiladas and empanadas were solid too.
Omari Allen: Love the ambiance here. If you can’t get a resy for the main dining room, ask if you can sit downstairs at the speakeasy. Fav parts of my meal were La Luna, the short ribs tacos, and the enchiladas!
April Armstrong: The CrabCake Tostada, Grilled Mushroom Tacos, and Wood Grilled chicken were delicious 😋

Lynn Pina: Get the grilled pineapple mojito and the pork belly small bites! Also, the guacamole with pineapple is surprisingly good.
Maggie Esq: I'd recommend the ceviche flight to try them all, the guacamole with pineapple, and the pork belly. Also don't skip the bread, it was hot and delicious paired with a sweet butter.
Ayfer Kiper: Very lively place and guacamole cubano yamiii:))
Jheanelle Wilkins: The guac is fresh and delish!!
Jeffrey Kaufman: Definitely get the guacamole and elote for appetizers and one of the sets if two tacos for the main. Skip the asada and go with the el pastor or vegetarian one.
cullen schwarz: Food is very good (especially the sloppy sandwich that comes with plastic gloves), homemade sodas with booze are excellent. All night Monday happy hour is a great bonus.
