Amazing service & food! Only thing that was disappointing was my horchata which tasted burnt somehow. I’d say check if beverage is still good or change recipe. Thanks!

Menu prices are deceiving. I ordered Pichanha Tacos and the menu said 3 tacos for $8.50. Went to check out and they said my total was $14
