Love the vibe here. Great music, guitar instrumentals the whole time. Indie, dark, red light. The perfect cocktail bar w a speakeasy energy. Didn’t try the food but would have wanted to. The cocktails I ordered (horchata, piña chile, cocao traditional something, avocado drink) were all great, but not strong. The service took a while but the were friendly.

La comida es buena y le dan buena presentación. El tejate por el precio imaginaba que era de mucho más mililitros a lo que realmente es, tiene un precio exagerado para ser una bebida tan accesible al bolsillo. Los postres nos decepcionaron, pedimos plátanos kaluah y es super sencillo, muy poca cantidad para lo que cuesta, de solo ver el platillo parece burla, el postre encofrado de vainilla nos dimos cuenta que son dos pedazos de 1/3 de galletas de "doraditas tía rosa" que para el precio esperabamos fuera otra cosa u horneados de la casa. Ambos postres indicaban que iban rodeados de frutos rojos y solo tenían unas cuantas rebanaditas de fresa y el encofrado zarzamoras. Solo disfruté la comida salada y la atmósfera del lugar. Su decoración es original.
