About this restaurants :
Fun Mexican restaurant with an underground bar. We ordered the Fiesta tacos to try different options. Surprisingly the best ones were the chicken tacos. There is a bar next to the restaurant with a fun vibe. It lightens up after 11:30.
The this here were delicious. I highly recommend the shrimp tacos. The ambiance, wall art/murals and dance hall were all very Aztec and beautiful. My friends and I loved the DJ, the esters were friendly and again food was great. Now the drinks, I’d skip. I did not enjoy it at all. May want to change the bartender or drink itself. Not sure. 4 stars for sure.
We (group of 4) had a sampler of four flavored pulques: mango, strawberry, pineapple, tamarind. We liked the pineapple and tamarind best. They do mix with white tequila (Puerta Negra/Black Door) to give it a little kick since the pulque’s bottling process changes the fermentation process. We also tasted the original pulque flavor.
We ordered the Molcajete, which had chorizo sausage, steak, chicken, shrimp, and nopales (cactus), all sizzling in a sauce in the volcanic molcajete bowl. Also tasted the tacos al pastor. They served it with a good portion of diced sweet pineapple, and it wasn’t greasy.
Service was great as they were constantly checking to see if we were ok, needed anything, and cleared the table of any used plates.
Having a Latin place for drinks and food in Chinatown is a game changer. The vibe is cute and the classic essence of Latin culture. What makes this place a gem is the hidden pathway to get in there. Makes it more vibrant. The food was delicious! The tuna tortas were so good we had to go for two orders of them! The pitchers aren’t as strong as we’d expect, so if you want a good strong drink stick to what you know. I had to get the mezcal pina and that drink by itself did justice over the pitcher. I loved the music and the service was amazing. They were attentive without being too much and the servers knew their menus to recommend which tacos to get since I’m a taco fanatic. Like always I go for the birria tacos and they did not disappoint. Our favourite was the Aztec soup which is highly recommendable! The flavours that capitulate your taste buds are everything. Then we ended the night to their dance floor room to end the night, so if you want to have fun afterwards (post 9:30pm), then you’ll enjoy a night to eat and a good night for dancing. Highly recommend!
“I had a great experience at this place. From the moment I walked in, the staff greeted me with friendliness that set the tone for my stay. Everyone was very attentive and accommodating. The atmosphere was just perfect. Overall, I highly recommend it for anyone looking for delicious food, a cozy and lively ambiance, a diverse selection of drinks, and a bit of dancing.”
