    Skip the food here enjoy a Paloma drink. Seriously skip the food, horrible short rib empanadas (actually spit them out) Pork pozole (no comment) just bland. The beet salad with añejo cheese skip

    I read the tip that said not to spend money here because it was all about the location. I wondered: how bad could it be? Well, the enchiladas were definitely not good. Have a drink, don't eat here!

    People aren't lying about the bread pudding! It's amazing. However, not a lot of food for the money.
