Est. 2022

Treat every guest like family.

This upscale Mexican restaurant and bar was established in 2022 by the Vasilev family. They share authentic family recipes in a vibrant, family-oriented atmosphere.

The owners treat every guest like family. They are often on the floor, greeting tables and asking how the meal was.

The room is contemporary, with custom murals and upbeat music. All dishes are prepared daily in-house. Popular plates include birria tacos, filet mignon tacos, shrimp, and carne asada. House specialties are handcrafted margaritas, the tableside Smoke Show, and an extensive tequila list.
