Had some great cocktails here! The taj mahal was delicious and my girlfriend enjoyed the rosebud motel. We had a BOGO coupon that they happily honored, but outside of that they do have some discounted options on their all day happy hour menu.

I attend an event organized by the Emerge group. We got to sample lots of Tapas and cocktails! Everything was thoughtfully made and amazing and beyond my expectations. The food was so delicious and the perfect size to sample lots of tapas. The cocktail pairing was fantastic. Service was excellent and everyone was so helpful. The ambiance was so welcoming.

Loved my experience here! Great food, and the quesabirria tacos and the kumara fries are a must!
