They don’t take reservations, and are only open Wed-Sun. To get a table I recommend going early as the place gets filled up for the night quickly, even on weeknights. They are known for their American wagyu beef. It is a Mexican steakhouse, and the price is fairly reasonable for the food at around $40 per person including drinks. The food is very high quality and everything I’ve tried there is amazing.
