The Crème brûlée was a beautiful conclusion to a fantastic experience Highly Recommended...you won't be disappointed. So glad we got out of our box and tried something new. Can't wait to come back!

The food was amazing and the service was top-tier. Our waiter was friendly, funny, and great. We had the best dinner here during our trip to Tucson. First off, the whole menu sounds incredible but you just can't go wrong. We picked the following tapas: LAS FAVORITAS (Dates stuffed with Spanish chorizo, wrapped in smoked pork) PULPO FERIA (Octopus, fingerlings, chili oil, parsley, chimichurri and greens) TOREADOS (Seared shishito peppers, lemon, herbs, chicharrón) ALCACHOFAS (Grilled artichokes, goat cheese, orange zest, and mint) And for the paella: MARISCOS Grilled squid, prawns, mussels, clams, and saffron For dessert, we got the tres leches. The cake was so soft and drenched in delicious cream. I'm really not kidding when I say everything we got was delightful. I can't pick a favorite, get them all! I will say though that the paella was a star of the night and was filled with so much saffron and seafood so don't miss out on it!

The green verde salsa was my favorite of the night. It was so spicy and divine! For my entrée, I decided to try the Incan Fuego Saltado and it melted in my mouth, the flavors were a perfect balance of spice and umami!

We came during the Jazz Week and the band was fantastic. Estefania was our waitress and did an OK job with our large party. To start they brought out tortilla chips and salsa which were very good. For my dinner, I ordered the Fajitas with shrimp. She said it came with 2 sides so I ordered a side salad and onions. Unfortunately there were no sides included with my meal. Instead it came with Spanish rice and refried beans. My mother ordered the Arrachera which is their skirt steak cooked medium and cut into several pieces. She loved it. I tried a little and it was good, but a bit tough. My nieces had the chocolate lava cake for dessert while my mother and brother ordered the flan. We left there very satisfied. After the jazz band finished, a Mariachi band (8 piece) set up and started performing as we were leaving. They sounded fantastic. I wish we could have stayed.

My favorite of the three was the birria--it had lots of meat in every bite and was so delicious! I couldn't finish everything because I also had the tamal plate. By the way, the tamal was another favorite of mine! You have to try it. It's similar to a Mexican tamale, but I felt it was more moist and flavorful. The tostones were great with their dipping sauce, which tasted similar to Thousand Island dressing. They also have a salsa bar for extra toppings. Our server was super friendly. When we weren't sure which drinks to order, he offered us a sample of the Salvadoran Chicha fresca. It tasted a bit like kombucha with a spicy kick, so that's what I went with!
