I was really impressed with my overall experience. The service was great, our waiter was nice and attentive. The food was phenomenal. The tuna tostadas have some kind of matcha salsa base, I’ve never had anything like that before but it was very tasty. I love that this restaurant is Mexico City inspired and the has a very cool modern touch to it. I will definitely be back here again to try more items on their menu.
