The food and drinks were really good! We order the smash burger and the meat was perfectly cooked, we loved the fries and the Spicy marinara cremosa pasta. We also order a couple drinks that cannot remember the name of it but the coconut horchata mocktail was amazing, definitely order it if you like horchata. The service was good, nothing special.

Thinking of where to have lunch or dinner with family and friends in downtown Bakersfield? Treat yourself and try this one. Then thank me later. I love places where they have short menus and where you could pick almost anything in the menu and be surprised with good food to make you happy. Nice cozy place, good chill music, friendly servers with excellent food and good price to go with it. I included photos all the food we had. Enjoy.

Atmosphere: Loved all the real plants and the decor. Food: We ordered the ceviche, shrimp taco gobernador, and chicken pesto sandwich. The ceviche was good and I would order it again, the tacos were very flavorful and had the right spice, black beans were good but could have had a touch more salt and the rice was good, my husband said the chicken sandwich was delicious but we could not find the pesto in the sandwich. Drinks: Triple berry Hibiscus Agua fresco and Coconut Horchata. Both fire and must try. Service: Great! Super friendly. Definitely would go back again.

Our first time here for dinner on Mother’s Day. There were four of us and a baby. Service was great and staff were friendly. Two of us had the carnitas enchiladas verdes. They were served with a beautiful presentation and the rice and beans were plated separately. They were very flavorful and the meat was tender. The other ordered pasta dishes, one a seafood and the other a spicy marinara. They were generous portions and flavorful as well. This is not a typical Mexican restaurant with chips and salsa and traditional decor. It is very modern and chic, a great vibe with great decor. They have beer in a bottle only and various cocktails. I don’t remember seeing a dessert menu. Our dinners were from $17-$23 and cocktails were approximately $14 each. I highly recommend trying this restaurant. We will definitely be back!
