The food is good, lots of fresh veggies mixed in. The portions are great, no left overs but I was plenty full. The prices were reasonable for an upscale restaurant. The staff was courteous and attentive without being overbearing. I wouldnt go out of my way to eat here again but would certainly come back if I was in the neighborhood. The biggest downfall of this restaurant is that its so freaking dark inside. We could have picked a patio seat or a seat by the window, sure, but we chose a booth on a back wall. It was noon in a restaurant with a lot of windows and we had to use the flashlights on our phone to read the menus. The hallway to the restrooms had no light, I couldnt see the door indicator to see if it was occupied or vacant. Then inside the bathroom the light was dimmer than a single candle would have illuminated. How are you supposed to check your make-up or see if youve got kale in your teeth. Seems strange to serve beautiful food and not want to show it off a little.

Super tasty food. Got the ceviche, which was prepared in a way I had never experienced before so when I first saw it I was a bit taken aback but the taste was great! Very bold. It definitely outshined my entree, gringas con molé, which was very tasty itself but compared to the ceviche i had just feasted on it was more of a backseat rider than the driver. Just a note, the ceviche itself is big enough to be a meal. My partner got the carne asada and basically inhaled it, proclaiming that it was a "10." I didnt taste it was it looked great. We both got a house agua fresca, which I enjoyed WAAAY more than he did. He said it reminded him of breakfast. I thought it was very tasty, if may out of sync with the season. I definitely recommend this place and will be back.

Fairly miserable experience overall. First off, our waitress could not have been less excited to serve us. From the get go she was rude and completely inattentive. The food was also nothing exciting and I found the ceviche to be almost inedible it was so fishy. My friend ordered the crab enchilada special and had to keep spitting out shells. The guacamole was decent but we had to doctor it up with salt and salsa. Im surprised that a place like this is able to stay in business with so much competition on Mississippi.

Tasty, fast and affordable. So glad they have another outpost now close to home. Nice to have a brunch spot you can get in to without a wait too. Split the Heuvos rancheros and the Gringas con Mole, both of which were great. Staff was friendly and the location is bright and airy. Cant wait until summer when the patio opens up too.

They do a beautiful job with sauteed vegetables. The guacamole is outstanding. My current fave is the enchilada plate. Dont expect a bunch of tortilla chips, but revel in the homemade tortillas. There are cases where more cheese would be desirable.

Nice atmosphere, clean, but I had to ask for my bill because my server never came back after I got my food. I ordered a cheese & veggie quesadilla. It was alright, very healthy, but not flavorful at all and not enough cheese.

Celiac friendly! The food was wonderful! I loved the roasted veggies! The white and garbanzo beans were a great change from pintos. Friendly helpful staff.

Healthy, fresh and delicious Mexican restaurant. My favorite place for Mexican in the city - by far. Everything they make is good - you cant go wrong.

Super underwhelming. The mole dominated the flavor of the two dishes that we got that had it. Also, melon has no place in a steak salad.
