“ Complete home run, folks. The food, service, decor and scene was on point. We had an early dinner reservation so the crowd and music volume was easy going but as the evening went on, it was more of a clublounge vibe going on. I suggest family style if you go with a few couples so you can try more of the menu in one sitting. Well be back! ”

“ This is my go to place for Mexican food in Birmingham. Next to Market Northend, smaller and also accessible when you have no reservations elsewhere. The servers are incredible, the drinks they come up with are always great especially if you love Mezcal. I typically order the Big Mac Slider special, ceviche, or the Fajita Bowl. Its like a chipotle bowl, but higher quality. The desserts are super delicious, you have to get them both. ”
“ The food and service is exceptional. Everything was great or better. The Taco Arabes was very close to its shawarma cousin with lots of campechano filling the fresh tortilla. Ceviche, duck fat fries, grilled chicken, even the rice and beans were all wonderful. Service was helpful and attentive. ”
“ So impressed! Food was top notch. Service wasnt overly friendly or attentive but it was quick so cant complain! Want to come back and try everything else. Had the nachos, birria, taquitos, and duck fries. Would recommend all! ”
