The hype is real! The food was amazing! Very delicious and flavorful!

We started with the Stuffed Anaheim Peppers. We were warned they were spicy, but we didn’t find them too spicy. We did find them perfect. All the flavors worked really well together.

For entrees, we tried their Braised Short Ribs and Prawn Paella. I also tried their Spicy House Made Margarita.

The Braised Short Ribs were absolutely delicious. My friend was only going to eat half, but they were so good, she ate the whole dish. She said that the potato croquettes it came with were the best she has ever had.

The Prawn Paella was also very tasty! It was filled with plenty of protein. The saffron rice was perfect and the saffron aioli was an added bonus.

The Spicy Margarita was a tad spicy, but not too spicy. It’s made with Serrano Pepper infused tequila and has a Tajin rim.

It’s a small place, so definitely make a reservation. Today, we didn’t need one, but yesterday they were packed. So just plan ahead.

I have heard a hundred great reviews about this place. I was excited to finally see for myself. I wanted to love it, but it sadly fell short. I could definitely tell the chef is incredibly talented. Unfortunately, the food was extremely salty, and I like salt and spices. It's not a great value for the price, small portions.

We tried the Grilled Queso cheese for an appetizer. This was my favorite thing. We also had the Pork Cheeks with pasta and the Braised Short Ribs. Both of these were so salty, along with the Braised Short Ribs being almost burned as well. See pictures.

The wine choices were very limited, but the Sauvignon Blanc was good.

Service was a complete struggle. The server was incredibly nice but definitely appeared to be intoxicated. We had to wait for everything and reminded her over and over before she would remember. We were there for an hour and 30 minutes. Way to long, in my opinion.

Every place has a bad night once in a while. I will try this place again down the road because I love that it's part of elevating the Hillyard business area.
