    Happy Hour menu
    Sarah J.

    Went for late lunch, early dinner. Had water, house margarita and chips and salsa to start. I appreciate a bottle of water on my table as I drink a lot. The margarita was good, honestly a little heavy on the tequila. (I know I know). Chips and salsa were okay. Chips were warm, salsa thin. Had lunch portion of verde enchiladas (chicken) for my main. Great size. Especially since I had the churros for dessert. Go for the churros! Restaurant itself is cute, nice lighting and music. Service was attentive and friendly. Other than the churros everything was just okay hence the 3 stars. I'm always on the lookout for great Mexican and this just wasn't it.

    Al Pastor

    Mira!! Easy solid four or more for tasty Taco Tuesday tacos. Was my first time in. Everyone was very helpful, friendly, and nice. Al Pastor tacos were pretty good. Also went with the caldo de pollo which was good but a little fancy for me. I tend to prefer more rustic versions of it; but it was good. As also were the chips and salsa kicked up with a little spicy salsa picante. Was able to add roasted jalapenos. Overall, nom nom nom yum yum mi amigos!!

    I'm never in this area so we didn't know where to eat, I'm glad we stopped in. Ambiance was nice, clean, service was good. I ordered the chimichanga which was great and the other two people I was with, ordered the enchiladas, both loved their meals as well. The only thing I wasn't crazy about was the chips, but I everything else was great. I loved my pineapple spicy margarita. It was perfect.

    Very good service. Nice atmosphere. There is a nice bar with televisions. The food was delicious and fresh.

    Vegan quesadilla
    Kaylee N.

    Vegans beware- they got rid of all vegan friendly cheese AND the chocolate dessert. We've been regulars here for a long time- my husband loves the burrito queso and XXL burrito. I'm vegan, and they used to have a full veggie friendly menu with vegan "meats" and "cheeses." They still have vegan "meats" but no "cheese" or "queso." The vegan quesadilla and nachos were my 2 favorite things. Our server, Adrianna, (4/25) was very sweet and understanding, but she could only serve us food and take our feedback. We came for dinner tonight and sadly only ordered drinks. It's not the same without 'cheese' with or without dairy. We'll continue to order occasionally for my hubby, but sad we have to find a new local date night spot. We had our wedding dinner here lol.

    Great little Mexican spot! I wished I lived closer. We all enjoyed our cocktails and food. They have a large menu with a variety of items for all types of diets. We chose from the lunch menu and the serving size was perfect. Happy hour from 11am -5pm. The drinks were well made and so good. Our server was friendly and attentive. She also was our bartender. I will definitely come back when I'm in the area again.

The bar itself is a great space and beautifully decorated, which really added to the vibe of the night. There was only one waitress covering the entire bar, and she truly did her best to keep up. We appreciated her effort and attentiveness, especially managing everything on her own. We did try making conversation at the bar, but the interaction felt a bit short. I ordered a mocktail and asked her to surprise me since there wasn't a mocktail menu. She brought a pineapple drink that unfortunately tasted off, it turned out the juice had gone bad. My husband ordered two $12 cocktails, and both were noticeably watered down. I ordered a second mocktail, though, and that one was actually really good. I do want to point out that the drinks did come out in a timely fashion. Overall, the event and atmosphere were fantastic, and while there were a few drink hiccups, we could tell the staff was doing their best.

The service was good, and we were in and out. Granted, we sat at the bar and got one drink each before the dinner rush was in. The only reason I'm giving it 4 instead of 5 stars is due to the small portion sizes. The drinks were quite expensive for how little beverage was to be had in the little glasses. Ik restaurants like to say it's all the same, but definitely felt like they priced us out of buying another drink due to the small serving. Onto the drinks, I really enjoyed the Crush Crush. I'm a big cosmo girly and this was spectacular for being used to tasting the vodka in a martini drink. I was very happy with the flavor and enjoyment I got from it. My boyfriend got the margarita and he enjoyed it, but also was a bit disappointed with the portion. I still recommend this restaurant if you're wanting to have a swanky cocktail outing, but maybe have a few other places lined up and don't depend on spending your day/night here. The food looks great too. I will be bringing an office event here to try the food next.

Every dish was flavorful, fresh, and you can tell there's real thought put into the food and presentation.

It felt cozy, lively, and welcoming all at the same time. The drinks were beautifully made and paired perfectly with the food, and the staff and crowd made the space feel fun and relaxed.

You can come and enjoy a nice drink without getting alcohol. We also ordered a burger from their limited food menu. It was very good. Not in competition for best burger in Orlando or anything, but the flavors were on point, and bun was nice and soft, and the furikake dusted crinkle cut fries were the perfect side item. Overall, this place was very cool, and if you haven't come here yet, you need to.
