"The ambience is amazing, awesome photos throughout."
"It's a very inviting atmosphere with plenty of natural lighting during the day."
"The atmosphere and vibes here are immaculate."
"Ambience is great as it starts out with a gentle daylight glowing through the skylights, and gradually dims to a dark atmosphere with an eclectic mix of upbeat music."
"The general open air atmosphere with its industrial theme was perfectly done."
"The atmosphere was fantastic, it was lively without being overwhelming."
Cons:
"The bathrooms are extremely dim. Be careful going in."
"Ambience is not that upscale and it is too noisy or loud and not upscale restaurant."
"I went on a Saturday and it was very loud. I mean I could barely hear my husband talk."
"Loved the ambiance except it was REALLY cold inside."
"Bookroom is just decor, not great."
"Music could've been a tad louder, couldn't hear almost at all with so much fun & chatting going on (too low, just my opinion)."
"The place hands down was a bad experience."
Food Quality
Pros:
"I never thought I would try octopus nachos but, here we are. Don’t knock it til you try it, they were so flavorful!"
"Very very good Latin food. The guacamole is a perfect balance of acidity, salt and fat."
"The fish and carne asada tacos were perfect."
"The camaron was the best taco I've ever had."
"Unbelievable food. We are from Austin, and we know our Mexican food. These guys give flavors that are layered and exquisite."
"Food was excellent! Went for Brunch and ordered the Avocado Toast and Breakfast Tacos. Highly recommend."
"The food is fresh and of the highest quality."
Cons:
"The only complaints were that the drinks came out almost 15 minutes after the appetizer."
"The ‘it’s all guava baby’ tasted like a watered down tequila and juice mixed together - it just wasn’t good."
"The tacos al carbon were good, but not notable and not worth the price."
"The Birria tacos were disappointing."
"The nachos were good but the chicken was a bit dry."
"The carne asada tacos honestly i could've put together at home, not worth $17 sorry, especially that it was served on flour tortillas."
"Pure hype. Was served a few tablespoons of mediocre guacamole, covered by actual store bought tortilla chips for $12."

"The staff was so attentive and went above and beyond to make our night special."
"The staff are super friendly and attentive."
Cons:
"FOR WHAT YOU PAY….the portions will not match your bill."
"The bartenders are bias with whom gets good service; Including over pricing during happy hour."
"The service was lacking, we had to flag waiters down multiple times just to get our water refilled and to ask to add something to the order, but they were always very nice when tending to us."
"The music was so loud it was hard to hold a conversation throughout our meal."
"Literally the worst service I’ve ever experienced."
