As a Mexican, I love how this place showcases the real diversity of our country with respect—you won’t find any clichéd stereotypes here. The staff’s knowledge and expertise show the great care they put into the concept. It’s refreshing to try new takes on Mexican drinks while enjoying the great vibe of the place and neighborhood. Definitely one of my favorite bars in the city!
