Drinks are really good if you like mezcal. They don't give you enough chips to finish the $15 queso and they charge you if you ask for a few more. Super lame and a waste of cheese.

Fish tacos and their equivalent of a sangria were diVINE, as was everything else.

Small place but more seating upstairs including booths. Only had drinks but the Mexican influenced menu looked good.

The 'Cinder' is an amazing cocktail. Smoky, Mezcal-forward, spicy and delicious.

The food is good. The drink are v. strong. However all the wait staff look tired and in need of a massage - ruins the experience.

Order some black bean croquettes, and drink mescal straight all night: try to use your high school spanish to tell drunken stories of love affairs. It's better this way, really.
EyalNovember 9, 2011
Sherry and Tequila is a combo I didn't think would work that well, bit Stone Raft and West of East India Cocktail are delicious.
Jack GashiMarch 7, 2015

I'm not a lightweight, but just one Slight Detour was enough to kick off my night in a big way. Get it & enjoy the buzzy warmth.
ArjunJune 9, 2012
Croquetas, chilaquiles, and tamales are delicious and cheap.

Good strong cocktails, but the food was just okay. Not a lot of vegetarian options for the boyfriend.

Rob the bartender really knows his tequilas. The Siembre Azul Reposada is incredible

$1 tacos and $10 cocktails on Sundays. Get there early or be prepared for a loooong wait. Try the pilot punch.
