Loved it. The staff is attentive and friendly. The ambiance is great. It was my girlfriend’s birthday and they gave her a fantastic production to celebrate with song, a huge sombrero and sparklers. It was a great experience.

We had a wonderful time. I brought my elderly parents and aunt, my sister and her 6 month old baby. We visited to check out the Taco Tuesday Buffet. The food was excellent. The service was outstanding. The atmosphere and ambience was beautiful and clean. Entertainment was fantastic. When we asked if they could turn down the music (live DJ) in our sitting area due to elderly adults and baby, they were more than happy to accommodate us. 10/10 experience. We will definitely be coming back and bringing the entire family. Thank you La Victoria

We had a wonderful dinner! Two friends catching up. Roberto was our server, very attentive but not overbearing. Cadillac margarita, chips and guacamole, burrito and fajitas were outstanding and beautifully presented. Best Mexican restaurant in the area - dine in or carry out! Plenty of parking including the underground lot.

 A perfect restaurant to go with other people so you can sample all of the dishes as it is a tapas style restaurant. The service was excellent a welcoming . We sat in the outside area, which was lovely.  here are some highlights mussels have the most incredible sauce different than any I’ve ever tried and with potatoes in it. It was so good. We had the lamb dish, which was also amazing and as was a Carne Asada.  The Acorn risotto was delicious. Everything was wonderful. I just wish we had more room in our bellies. We tried some new wines that were delicious.  For the quality of food I thought the prices were very fair. We will definitely be going again

My best friend and I made a reservation for an experience at the bar. Everything was delicious. Two drinks of your choice came with our meals. There were a few courses that made us understand why this is a Michelin star restaurant. There were so many flavors happening at the same time in a good way. I’m surprised they didn’t ask for any food allergies. My bestie cannot eat pork however, the Chef was gracious and doubled him up on the next course and some salsa to take home. That salsa was absolutely delicious. I would definitely recommend you try this restaurant.
