The place has a dark, intimate atmosphere. The service was excellent, very attentive and fast. The guacamole was outstanding, creamy, acidic, and fresh homemade chips rounded out the experience. The aguachile de tuna didn't actually have tuna (I didn't find any), which was disappointing but the salsa Verde was incredibly flavorful and a little spicy and the cucumber was a unique refreshing addition. The carne asada was perfectly cooked, the sauce was delicious, and came with garnish but not really a side. The arroz verde had a bold cilantro and garlic flavor but I thought lacked texture. The calamari and shrimp were well cooked. The cocktails were creative and beautiful.

The place is small but cute. We sat at the counter which faces the kitchen and it was fun to see all the action. The pork belly appetizer was phenomenal, the pork belly was so crispy and the sauce was flavorful. Khao soi was delicious, the curry was spicy and had such depth of flavor but I thought there was too much of the crunchy noodle and not enough of the cooked noodles. The steak was my least favorite, it had a really nice salt and pepper crust but some pieces had something like cartilage that was unpleasant to eat. The service was great!
The place used to be Taqueria El patron and now renamed but same look. They have a few cute tables outside and large inside. The service was very attentive but we were one of the two tables on a Saturday night. The food was disappointing. I loved the homemade chips and salsa (free). I did not enjoy the burrito. The tortilla tasted and had the texture of a store bought one. The steak was low quality, overcooked, and chewy. The other person got the enchiladas and also did not enjoy her dish.

The best Korean fried chicken in the city! The crisp and crunch is unreal and it's so juicy. The spicy wings are very spicy but still delicious. The kimchi fried rice is really good as well. The prices are very reasonable. The service is fast

What a fun unique place! We had the benefit of the smoke machine going when we walked in and suspenseful music, which added to the experience. The cocktails are very creative and tasted good. Would definitely return!
