What To Know

A lively Mexican-American gem where tacos, masa pancakes, and cocktails pop.

Dishes blend tradition and play—like golden Oaxacan cheese sticks and lamb tacos.

Vibe is playful: DJs, a taxidermied jaguar mascot, dim lights, and music louder than usual.

Buzzy brunches, scene-y dinners, plus micheladas and inventive plates keep it fresh.
