It's a great place to go with friends, date night or solo. It's very intimate, dark and cozy. We came for the steak which was amazing but the star of the show for me was the branzino.

Everything was so good! Can't wait for my next visit.

They offered a bottomless food and mimosas option so that is what we ordered. Their brunch is a bit different from other bottomless brunches because they bring out everything on the menu to you instead of you picking.

The atmosphere was nice, the service was great, and the food was good. I also got a birthday treat.

No surprise that this place came highly recommended to me!

What an awesome "stumbled upon" discovery!…read more I was in Dupont and wasn't even particularly ready for lunch yet when the music coming from here called me in. The reggae music was giving me all of the good vibes, so out of curiosity I headed down the steps. Once inside, I discovered a cozy and casual little taco spot with some great offerings and a warm staff. I took a quick look at the menu and decided on a fish taco and a jerk chicken taco, with a Hawaiian shaved ice to-go. The tacos were actually pretty sizeable and at a reasonable price point. I love the fish taco, but the jerk chicken in the other taco was a little dry to me that day. Either way, I enjoyed my food and was GEEKED out when I walked out with my shaved ice. Loved everything about this place and will definitely return in the future!

The decor is simple, no table clothes or frills but it does live up to 'fine cuisine' with excellent food and presentation (another subtle touch is if you leave the table, you return to a nicely folded napkin). We got nearly everything on the menu including all the desserts and Mexican hot chocolate (yum, lightly spicy and piping hot!) . As others have said their guacamole is excellent...do check the charges though bc they added salsa and chips to the tab which we did not order (they removed). Also, the first order of guac came with big bowl of chips, but none with the second order of guac- not a problem though because you do not go hungry. Portions are quite generous. We even tried the ants which was a fun novelty

My go to order is the Suadero tacos, Mexican coke, and chips & guacamole if I want to splurge.
