No bueno. Guacamole and salsa are good but... the waiter suggested the carne asada quesadilla... It is not really a carne asada quesadilla, it is a sort of corn pita filled with huge mushrooms and a light garnish of a few tiny pieces carne asada and almost no cheese. What a shock that was. I actually took a bite it in front of the waiter who did not care at all about my shock or that I looked disgusted and spit it into my napkin and simply said. He says "Yeah, it has mushrooms too" and walked away seemingly assuming we were not a table worth trying to give good service to anymore. His other recommendation of the green sauce on the enchilada was also awful the sauce was extremely overpowering with salt and astringent flavor and there was so much of that sauce it invaded the sides and was borderline soup. When was were able to get his attention finally we asked for something else and told him it wasn't good, which he also didn't care about and the service got more and more just... I don't know what to call it... He ghosted us? Not exactly rude, just not good. It's a shame too because he started off okay, maybe he just needs some more training. The chicken tacos were good when the big pile of radish was removed. I won't eat here again. It's one thing to get bad food if the feedback gets to the kitchen but as someone who always tips well and has worked as a server, when the food is bad- you should at least...

What an amazing new spot in Danville that we need! The restaurant looks amazing and the glasswear and interior is stunning. Recommend making reservations online if you can, but there is also optional seating at the bar. Chips came for free with the meal with three really great salsas. I ordered a mojito which was served in an amazing glass with a instagram worthy ombré presentation.

We started with the carnitas tacos which were super flavorful on housemade blue corn tortillas. I always order pozole if it’s on the menu and I wasn’t disappointed. It came with a wonderful, DIY presentation that allowed you to self garnish the dish to your preference with radish, housemade hot sauce, cabbage, and more. The pozole was super savory and chock filled with hominy and pork which could have been a main dish on its own.

The real star of the night was the shrimp dish. It came with a good number of large shrimp which were perfectly zesty and a little spicy served on top of a refreshing bed of zucchini, quinoa and fried leeks.

I’ll definitely be back again—I think I found my new,...
