I took a group of friends here for drinks, but we didn't want to leave so we ended up staying for dinner as well! The outside is very unassuming, but the interior fits in with the trendy, Instragram-style decor. The space seems small at first, but there is more to the restaurant and it fits a surprising number of people.

I had the Mezcalita for drinks, chips and guacamole for appetizers, and for tacos, Barbacoa (beef shank + pork) and Barbacoa de Borrego (lamb). It was all so good. The drinks are perfect for people who like spicier and more woodsy drinks. The guacamole is a bit pricey, but it was not your standard guacamole and nor were the chips! The tacos are comparable in price and size to others in restaurants, but they were super flavorful and more interesting than classic tacos.
