    It’s my first time in this restaurant. They have a large dinner menu and efficient service. I liked the tequila lime pasta and camarones al ajillo. The skirt steak was pretty good. The shrimp ceviche was gummy due to prolonged exposure to the acid. The guava flan brûlée and churros were a nice finish to the meal.

    Beautiful upscale environment. Whoever did the interior design was great. Food was delicious. I had three cheese enchiladas, rice and beans. The staff and manager were friendly. But the prices are about double what I pay elsewhere. A small margarita was $30. A pitcher costs $75. The beer however was good at under $10 for a large beer. My final bill was about $150 for just myself. If I go back, I'd probably stick to beer on tap. The high prices make it cost prohibitive to visit frequently, unless you are wealthy.

    I must say that I enjoyed the food and experience at this establishment. My colleagues and I enjoyed ourselves with the delicious food and drinks that they offered. The atmosphere was very pleasant and our servers were very helpful in assisting us in deciding what plates to try out. I would definetly recommend this place.

    My girl and I had dinner here last week and we absolutely enjoyed it. Great service and amazing food. If you're ever in the area I recommend you give them a try. Also if you're interested in seeing a glimpse of what this place is like in real time, we uploaded a short video on YouTube which can be found on the Hit or Miss Reviews channel.

    So here's what you need to know! Go here if you are looking for an excellent environment to spend time with people! All the servers are great and the experience is a good time. The food wasn't what impressed me, but it also didn't detract from enjoying my time there. The prices are on the higher side, which isn't my favorite either.

    The service was very friendly. It had a great atmosphere which made a great place to have a drink and chill. We had about 3 or 4 different drinks and they were all good! The coconut mojito was my favorite.

    Food is okay here, it lacks flavor for my taste. I ordered the mole chicken and it was okay. I have tried this same dish at other restaurants and it has been better. The place has a beautiful decor. Parking is limited.

    Took a friend to lunch here for her birthday...I had been meaning to try this place. Well, I was not disappointed! Great Mexican food, awesome drinks, wonderful deserts. I absolutely love the decor in this place, it's so beautiful and comfy. I had the chile relleno with rice and beans, my friend had enchiladas. We both loved our food! The waitors there are really nice and friendly, which made the experience that much nicer. I'll definitely be returning, the ambiance is wonderful and the food is tasty!

    Let's start with the atmosphere. The restaurant is beautiful! They have created a lovely outdoor space that is perfect for al fresco dining and people-watching. The service is efficient and you never have to wait very long for food and drinks. They have an extensive tequila menu and a creative list of signature cocktails. In addition to happy hour, they have drink specials on Wine Down Wednesday. Now the food. The portions are smaller than other traditional Mexican restaurants in the area. However, I appreciated their attempt to bring balance by including spring mix on the plates. They serve breakfast all day, so I tried their popular chilaquiles. They were too crunchy and I couldn't see or hardly taste any egg. The dish was overpowered by the sauce. Try: Paloma Negra, Burrito Skip: Chilaquiles, Guacamole

    On a date with my love, we sat and waited, For waiters to come, but they hesitated, Seven or more, aimless they roamed, Occasionally meeting our eyes, but never homed. Another couple sat, and were served with speed, While we sat there, waiting, feeling the need, The GM looked bossy, the woman in white, Wandered around, ignoring our sight. They walked past us, over and beyond, As if we were invisible, no sense of a bond, The GM tasted drinks without tossing the straws, Was this real? I had to pause. Finally, I took action, walked to the bar, Told register guy we hadn't been served so far, He wasn't a waiter, but did their job with ease, And served us food and drinks, with an aim to please. The food was decent, the drinks were great, But the staff's behavior, hard to relate, Maybe it was the presence of the manager gang, Slow-walking by with their noses held high, dang! And on the walls, the art they displayed, Frida Kahlo's unibrow, they betrayed, What's up with that? That brow was her vibe! Despite disappointment, I left full, and glad to be alive.

    Came in for an adult drink and some appetizers on a Friday night.the Anaya Margarita was excellent, the description rendered by the server was exactly how the drink tasted. Their appetizer platter was decent sized. The mini sopes where delightful.

    This place is very good. 2nd time here and we were not disappointed! The food was very good and our server was excellent. There was even live music the night we went. We will definitely be returning. The portions we're large, food was hot and it wasn't super expensive!

    Had dinner here the other night. Just moved into the neighborhood. Had dinner with friends and we all loved it. I had the enchiladas and they were the best I ever had. The staff was friendly and attentive despite it being 116 degrees outside. Highly recommended

  • 5/5 Bharat S. 10 months ago on Google
    We had the combination and eggplant appetizer. The eggplant is cold but tasty. The combination with lentil soup is also good. I prefer the chicken and lamb. The staff is very friendly and there are plenty of seats on a workday evening.

    Nothing special as far as the authenticity of the food. Just grilled carne asada stake. They have a full bar, the drinks were good but over priced. It was more than $52. For a margarita flight but they were small glasses with too much ice so it was hard to enjoy much of the drink itself.

  • 5/5 Michael C. 1 year ago on Google
    This is a family owned restaurant that serves the highest rated upscale Mexican food in L.A Having a party of five, we had the chance to try many different items on the menu, and also great selection of cocktails. From the slow cooked pork carnitas, that comes With beans, guacamole, salsa and of course rice, to the appetizers plate that’s so big and has too many items to count. The camarones a la Diabla with spicy shrimp is their best seller. The Chilaquiles bandera that comes in 2 flavors green or red. Final verdict I gave it 5 stars for a reason. Give it a try and you’ll be happy you did.

    Food was good, nice flavor. My BF had the New York stake, it was on the smaller side, not surprised. I had the Pollo Mole, it was yummy with great grilled veggies. We had classic margaritas, they were good but way too much ice, more than the margarita. Several times we had to flag down other servers to get assistance. Over all good food, we're willing to go back and try the brunch buffet.

    Excellent Mexican food and excellent service. I love going to places that make me feel that I’m in Mexico. Our food was delicious. Santos was our waiter and he was hospitable. I will definitely come back to this place in Pasadena!
