Great mezcal selection. Food was good and paired well with the beers and mezcal.

Buen lugar, tragos bien pero nada espectacular. El guacamole más o menos. Antes de la 1:00am ya nos estaban presionando para pagar (Aunque dice que cierran a las 2:00am).

El mezcal está como rebajado, tomo mezcal seguido y lo conozco bien, probé varios aquí y francamente se sienten aguados. El lugar es bonito pero no volvería.
