A gluten free gem! I have celiac disease so options are extremely limited but this restaurant made me feel like I had no limitations! All of the food is gluten free and the server confirmed the restaurant is free of wheat, barely, and rye. I felt so lucky to have this option and I’m so thankful to the restaurant for a gluten free kitchen! I will say everything is a bit pricey, but they explained that they always have fresh meat from the same day and it’s clear everything is made to be top quality. It is definitely worth the price! I ordered the queso con carne and it was very different from a typical queso. It was incredibly seasoned and the meat really stood out, every bite was a burst of flavor. I also got the carnitas, it wasn’t the typical Mexican carnitas but the meat was very good, you can truly tell the quality is top tier. Our table got the fried catfish, yuca, and ribs as well. The catfish was by far the best fried gluten free food I’ve ever had. It was full of flavor and the Tatar sauce was incredible and just added to it. Perfectly spicy and crunchy. The yuca was also amazing and the sauce was perfect. I was told the ribs were the best ribs around, but didn’t try them myself. 100% recommend this place to anyone but specially those with celiac disease. It’s not quite Mexican but it’s not quite Texas BBQ. It’s a nice in between with a twist using incredible spices, high quality meats, and flavorful sauces. It seems like the locals agree this place is amazing because by 6pm there was a line in the parking lot!

The TL;dr If you have dietary restrictions, allergies to any foods, or follow a low sodium diet, wait until they’ve corrected their kitchen and menu issues. We love this group’s other endeavors but this was a miss. Service was great, helpful and friendly. Atmosphere could probably use a slight adjustment keeping in mind about 1/3 of tables had kids with them at the early evening time we went (including us). Somewhat quieter music in the afternoon/ early evening would be good for example. Cocktails were unique and balanced. The menu - as in the physical menu - needs a second look. It was not clear from what dishes had meat or common allergens, and our server ended up recommending dishes that had ingredients some of our party didn’t eat (for example a fish dish that had chorizo butter for a pescatarian). We also later heard the tortillas are cooked in pig fat which might explain one of our party’s stomach upset after the meal. The food was extremely over seasoned. I once ate a mouthful of sea salt at a restaurant (it was a garnish under a bowl of seafood but I thought it was part of the dish) and that is the only time at any restaurant I have eaten food that was so salty. I love salt, truly, think of some of the saltiest dishes around town and I’ve never complained but this was nearly inedible. The queso fundido, the cactus paddle, the sauce that comes with the tostones, and the smoked beef were incredibly over salted. Hopefully our experience was due to the relative newness of the kitchen and will be corrected.

Went for a later dinner at around 7pm on a Saturday. Seating for two was quick if you didn't mind either inside or outside. The atmosphere was rather loud inside due to cozy seating arrangements and music. The food came out piecemeal, but arrived as soon as it was cooked. The charred broccoli was delightful and had shredded cheese on top, a slice of pork belly underneath, and pieces of sautéed yams and small cherry tomatoes included. All entrees included a warm napkin filled with small 4-5 inch tortillas to make your own taco/burritos. Food also came with a trio of pickles, salsa, and crema, all made in house. The crema especially was silky smooth and delicious. We ordered also the brisket, which wqs so tender it could be pulled apart with a single fork. We did also order the Yuca Frites, as we weren't sure how big the small plates would be, but while the frites and it's chipotle mayo dipping sauce was delicious, it was a lot for two people unless you come hungry. For a small dish, a medium dish, and a large dish, no drinks, came to about $50 for two people. The only lack of a star is for noise level. It also carried a constant smell of campfire, which isn't necessarily a bad thing unless you're sensitive to that sort of smell. Overall, delightful, definitely a consideration for a special date night. Might not recommend taking kids as the space doesn't seem conducive to it.

We literally live across the street and want to love this place. We go out to eat often at our favorite places like Wooden city, hennens, Boccaccia, Alleia, to name a few. My husband and I sat at the bar and each had a drink (he had temparanillo Grenache) it had so much sludge sedement at the bottom. That’s beside the point. If you don’t love pork, you’re gonna have a hard time finding anything on this menu to eat. My husband got the steak bavette medium with chimiChurri. SUPEr LOW Quality cut of meat with extreme amount of connective tissue and he couldnt enjoy it. I ordered carnitas and a side of rice and beans. Rice was 7 bucks and the frijoles were also 7 bucks. These beans were like the largest fattest whole beans I had ever seen and were comparable to Van camps canned chili. Rice had zero ZERO FLAVOR NO SALT NOTHING. Carnitas cooked to death dried out. Such a disappointment. So stupid expensive. Left angry-ish and this was our second and last trip. I won’t even wave at them from my porch. Would have enjoyed a low budget low quality meal way better at cheddars and that is a sad statement.

Trevor was the epitome of what service should be. Not only was he extremely knowledgeable and personable, but he was so attentive that it was easy to forget that we were in a busy restaurant and that he was helping other customers as well. Trevor checked in on us multiple times throughout the meal to see how we were faring. My husband has celiacs disease and often it's obvious that wait staff doesn't know or doesn't care, but Trevor went above and beyond to make sure that my husband was well taken care of. On Top of all this, the food was AMAZING. We had the pork belly as our starter and the NY Strip for our main course. If I could give extra stars, I would.
