    Been here many times at night where it is more a bar vibe than restaurant and that is the reason for the 4 stars instead of 5 with atmosphere. That being said I came today here for dinner and it was so chill I loved it! The food was delicious and clamatos were too. Service Could have been a bit faster but it didn't matter because they did keep checking in on us to make sure we were not missing anything. Definitely recommend here for lunch/dinner.

    The food is phenomenal! I love the fusion concept of incorporating Mexican and Asian cultural Flair's. The Tacos I had were an excellent Carne Asada with a Thai kick with peanut sauce. The common denominator in both cultures is the Cilantro. The Mexican Fried Rice as the side dish has been cut with delicious Chorizo! The Chicken Chicaronnes hands down the best appetizer on the menu. It was recommended since the pork dish was out. If they can build a parking garage here, I would be coming weekly!

    The menu has some good simple options and not too big, they have chilaquiles, tasty barbacoa. I had the churro French toast which was a huge plate and very sweet and delicious. Amber is also a very good and attentive server. I can’t wait to come back to try the other breakfast options.
