    Bought a brunch groupon and glad I did. Chilaquiles with salsa verde is amazing! $5 mimosa on Sunday. Bloody Mary's kind of gross, taste like liquid smoke. Mimosas and margaritas really good!

    Food is very tasty and well presented! WOW decor, waitstaff very knowledgeable (do try what they suggest), kitchen still glitchy with order fulfillment. Pork guacamole was awesome!

    Wasn't crazy about the pomegranate sangria. I ordered the chicken sopes, which were too crunchy. Atmosphere is beautiful though with great music. They do not skimp on alcohol which is a plus!

    Great Guacamole plate appetizers. Modern Latin vibes near Oak Brook, IL.

    Great food in a great atmosphere. Prices were just a tad high for the smaller portions they serve.

    Great patio, food was just ok. The atmosphere is probably great after work. The creme Brulee was tasty!

    The food was excellent. The pineapple sangria bowl was on point.

    The shrimp ceviche was very good and the sangria was different but still tasty.

    Super expensive for the amount of food you get. It was decent as far as flavor. I only go 4 tiny shrimp on the shrimp taco. It was mostly cabbage and tortilla. The rice and beans were tasteless.

    Bloody Mary is way too spicy. Tastes like steak sauce. The Margaritas are way better.
