Definitely a true example of “don’t judge a book by its cover.” At first glance, the outside of the establishment didn’t seem very appealing but the moment you walk in, everything changes. The décor, the music, and the overall vibe wrap around you and make you feel like you’re somewhere that truly cares. Cares about the service they’re providing, cares about the food they’re preparing, and cares about the drinks they’re crafting. The menu offers something for everyone. I’d describe the cuisine as Mexican fusion not your typical Mexican dishes, but you can absolutely taste the spices and bold flavors throughout. I had a delicious pasta with chorizo and shrimp that was incredibly flavorful and satisfying. The portions were generous, and my drink was superb. And the chicharrónes? A must try appetizer!

Went there for our Anniversary dinner. It was a great experience. It is upscale mexican fusion bougie place. The ambience of restaurant was very nice & staff/servers were really helpful. Their chef I have heard has very unique mexican fusion dishes that preserve the mexican flavors while blending with modern dishes. They also had placards & complimentary desserts for iur anniversary. We tried fried cauliflower - their famous app, steak & fish plate. The flavours were really awesome. You could experience all the flavours on your pallete. Also tried some cocktails - old fashioned: they nailed it! Try some of the hidden gem whiskeys from the last page of menu. Def recommend !

Not your hole in the wall Mexican restaurant. This one’s more on the fancier/pricier side. You are immediately greeted with super polite hostess. Then the super friendly server comes and helps with the order. BUT the food is BLAH!! This is not an authentic Mexican food. It’s aimed more towards people who cannot handle flavors but want to eat something different. After the server overly hyped the menu and the dishes, we ordered the chips n guacamole to start with. I have never in my life had such a boring guacamole. It was so plain and bland that I had to add lime on it to make it more edible. Could have just eaten an avocado on its own. There was chicken quesadillas, which was okay nothing special again. Then comes the super hyped dish by the server. She literally kept talking about it for couple of minutes that how people get extra spoons to have the sauce of this dish because it is that amazing and it’s their signature most popular dish…….it was, King Ranch Enchiladas - the most boring dish. It felt like literally, they have emptied the cheese sauce from a bottle jar onto the plate and warmed it up. There were three enchiladas, which was very flavorless again. The worst part of all they served it with some sort of rice and corn on the side and guess what? The rice was uncooked and raw. It was not even chewable. We had to spit it out because the rice was undone. When we complained to the waitress, she went back to the Chef to talk about it and guess what the Chef said? Oh the rice must have gone hard because it’s cooked in butter. I mean really? That is the most absurd reason/logic I’ve ever heard. Instead of apologizing for your mistake in cooking and serving raw food to us you are telling me that the rice got hard by cooking in the butter. I am sorry that’s insane for $30 a dish that was a total waste of my money and my appetite. They did not even have the basic courtesy to replace the rice for us. For such basic and mediocre overall food paying almost $150 was a total ripoff. This place is not authentic at all. It’s just a very bland overpriced boring so-called Mexican restaurant won’t be returning won’t be recommending to anybody else!!

Truly a hidden gem in Livermore. We appreciate the service here and, even more, we appreciate the food that this establishment makes. Everything so far that we have ordered from our two visits have tasted really good. They have live music and paella night on Mondays. Reservations are strongly recommended according to our server. We will be here next time in a Monday 😊.

Outstanding! Everything was top-notch. My wife and I had the Chicharrón with Hatch Chile corn dip appetizer, the Beet Salad and the Agua Chile Ribeye. Finished off with the Peanut Butter Toffee Bar…….scrumptious! The live music was perfectly mellow and combined with the excellent ambiance. The lighting is perfect. The servers warm and very conscientious and best of all were the owners Eduardo and Blanca Posada warmly interacting with their guests.
