Amanda L.Amanda Larson: The empanadas are my favorite. Daily happy hour from 2-5 and another late at night (9:00 weekdays, 10:00 weekends). Try out the tequila flights! Surprisingly smooth.

Jorge C.Jorge Castro: Try the water, its better than the crab empanadas...however, the pork belly taco is fantastic! Have 2 or 3...

Emily S.Emily Sue: Their Crab Empanadas don't have a lot of flavor- pass on them.

Diversity I.Diversity InfoResources: High energy, huge tequila selection, fantastic appetizers. More 'bar-y' than restaurant-y in feel ... but always, always fun. $10 lunch specials. The sugar-cane skewered tequila shrimp is a must.

Lisa P.Lisa Percy: Colonel Mustard!  Drink menu was outstanding.  I loved the For His Majesty.  The Salty Caramel Macarons are to die for.  I want to go back for the 10 course meal at the chef's bar.  

Heavy TableHeavy Table: The trio of cured salmon is fresh, silky, and served with a kick-ass dill, rye, and anchovy marinade. Be sure to order the bourbon caramel sundae to top things off. Read more.

Andrea K.Andrea Kopfmann: Have a blushing belle for a late night sweet treat. Leave your lips luscious for those good night kisses.
