Cons:

• "The tequeños I ordered were made with mozzarella and filo pastry not queso fresco and wonton wrappers and were quite unpleasant."
• "The ceviche was okay but not particularly outstanding nor was the lamb and seafood platter."
• "A bit pricey for what you get especially as there are no expensive ingredients and their protein (meat /fish) are very small in portion."

Cons:

• "Waiting for more than 1.5h without a single 'sorry' - horrible service."
• "Accepting a reservation while only for 1h30 minute, without saying anything, and then cancelling reservation while we are on the way is totally unacceptable."
• "I would give this place negative stars if I could, I would not recommend this place because the owner told us to wait even though we had booked in advance 20 mins went by still nothing had us waiting with my children in the cold."
