I can’t say enough good things - my first time here & we will definitely be back! Spectacular service, yummy food & incredible vibes. They also had live music and the decor is just *chefs kiss*. 10/10!

The best thing was the starter - a play on taquitos. I liked the enchiladas, but think the steak based dishes are where they excel. I got the Oaxaca Old Fashioned and didn’t really care for it. I then got the Cantorita and it just tasted like orange juice. We were too full to get the flan, but I’ve heard good things. I enjoyed it quite a bit, but didn’t love love love everything.

Very beautiful environment, I love the decor. The swings two seats were very cool and almost like a private setting. Appetizers came out fairly quick and were delicious. If they're busy be prepared to wait 45 minutes plus for your entrée. I'm not the biggest fan of black beans and/or rice but both came with my entrée and they both were freaking delicious! All food came out hot with beautiful plating.

Went there last night with a group of friends and we had the best time! Our server Alex was great and went above behind to make a friend's birthdsy special without even asking! Food was amazing and drinks were fantastic!

One of my favorite stops while visiting Louisville — and for good reason. This place is truly special. From the warm, attentive staff to the creative, flavorful dishes, everything here feels thoughtfully done. Add in the stylish, playful décor, and you’ve got a spot that’s not only delicious but also fun and unforgettable.

I’ve been in Louisville for a year now (I’m a foodie from New York) and this is the best restaurant I’ve tried in Louisville so far! Trust me I have tried a lot here in my time! I’ve tried almost all the spots my local patients have raved about and they were nice but the food was so bland compared to the food I’m used to in NY. This place reminds me of my favorite Mexican spot in the suburbs of NY and I’m so happy to have found it! Food, atmosphere, presentation, and service were wonderful the 3-4 times I’ve been here! Only downside is trying to find parking but totally worth the struggle! I forget what the drink is called on the menu but the spicy mango margarita with the popsicle stick in it is hands down one of my favorite drinks I’ve been served at a restaurant! I haven’t found anything I didn’t like on the menu yet and the portions are a nice size for hungry customers!

First time at this restaurant and we loved it. I enjoyed the fusion of Cuban and Mexican food. I had a great mocktail, well presented and delicious. I had the salmon dish, which comes with rice and sweet plantains. I also got to try a few appetizers, including the guac with pork rinds. I also tried the black beans that were fantastic Cuban style. The staff was very welcoming and we enjoyed music from the musical trio that sang traditional Cuban music. The decor and music was upbeat and lively! Definitely recommend this spot

House made fresh corn tortillas, the most tender steak I’ve ever had. Every.single.item. Is fresh! The atmosphere is fantastic. Fun yet intimate. I would return for the black beans alone. Authentic with flare. We will be stopping her again next year!
